Easy! Just find the full URL to the contrib folder on your favoutite
mirror and add it to the 'Define Sources' Button of the Software
Manager.
A number of people prefer to set the Software Manager to work from
local files because it is so much faster, particularly when you must
update multiple machines. For this way of working you will need my
troels.rsync3.pl script to download what you want of all the Mandrake
stuff from the mirrors and keep it up-to-date on a daily or weekly
basis.

Make sure you read the readme.html and make sure you register with
NetMind at the bottom of the readme page. This is the only way that
existing users will receive notification of changes in future.
