Charlie,

You don't need to rely on those old messages any longer. Up-to-date and 
working urpmi sources can now be easily found by using the page at:

http://plf.zarb.org/~nanardon

In step 1, you select the MDK release level for which you want sources. It 
has everything from Cooker all the way back to the 7.2 release.

I realize, of course, that you were offering those URLs for Patricia's
benefit, and are unlikely to be still running 8.2 yourself; still, in case
anyone is not aware of the Easy Urpmi page, it's always worth mentioning.

As for support: according to Mandrake's current End-Of-Life policy, the
"desktop" support for 8.2 ceased at the end of March. The "base" packages 
will continue to receive updates through the end of this month.

The EOL policy page is here:
