Well, close. Anyone can use the mdk revision, it doesn't indicate it's an official package, it indicates it was designed *for* Mandrake. Ie. I use xxmdk revisions on all of my packages, whether they're in cooker, contribs, or on my FTP sites. This indicates to people they are designed for Mandrake, not RH or others. If it works on RH, fine, but it's not designed for it. -- OpenPGP key available on www.keyserver.net 1024D/FE6F2AFD 88D8 0D23 8D4B 3407 5BD7 66F9 2043 D0E5 FE6F 2AFD Current Linux kernel 2.4.8-34.1mdk uptime: 16 days 1 hour 21 minutes.
