I've got kio_rpm-0.0.6-6mdk installed. With that, and usin 'rpm:/'
as the URL in a browser, you can browse thru the rpm information for
any installed rpm, sorted by groups. It's in /contribs on the
mirrors if it's not on the d/l CD's. The multimedia kernel and
kernel-source are on the /contrib mirrors too, but I'm pretty sure
they didn't make it onto the d/l CD's for space considerations.
Now if you understand that description (below), kindly explain it
to me ;) I just know Danny Tholen's multimedia kernels work great,
no problems. They're just the current Mandrake kernel (-13mdk) with
the preempt, lo-lat, and a few other patches. That info comes from
my understanding of cooker ML discussions.
