No software in main or in contrib is restricted. See the recent article on Mandrakeforum on urpmi, I posted instructions on how to setup urpmi for contirb there. And even RPMS requested on the Mandrake Club are free (as long as the original source is free enough, and after they've been through testing). See the unsupported/MandrakeCLUB section of the Mandrake-devel mirrors. > >>>why do i have to install Mysql & Postgresql >> >>Because mysql and postgresql haven't been packaged correctly, >>so to get the -devel stuff for those that qt-devel needs, >>it needs the base packages too. It may be that some aspects of development do need some of the files from the base package?
