Can you elaborate on what a contrib/ source is? I have the CD sources, an ftp source of the original 9.0 distro, and ftp update source, and the PLF source. I'm not sure what you mean.
Thanks,
Cory

It appears you need to add a 9.0 contrib/ source.
It's a directory on the Mandrake mirrors full of rpms. It is for downloaders a source of software that is included in the commercial pack. Not sure if there is a one-to-one correspondence but it is software in addition to what is available on the 'gpl download edition'. Some non-gpl stuff and some stuff excluded for space considerations. This is stated at the plf site that you need to add the contrib source. I used the same syntax as the plf urpmiefier gave for the plf source but changed the name from plf to contrib, gave a url for the contrib/RPMS directory, and gave 'with synthesis.hdlist2.cz' for the hdlist location. You will see this file is included in the RPMS directory. Funny thing, addmedia failed the first time but completed the second try. I think it has to do with busy mirror or borderline problems negotiating a login.
