I was wondering if someone could explain the **philosophy** of the contrib directory on a Mandrake mirror. More specifically, after installing MDK 9.0, I noticed that AbiWord is no longer in the distro. After looking around, I found it, and lots of other packages in the contrib directory on one of the mirrors.
Aside from saving disk space (but they could always add another iso to the download set), why are some packages in contrib and not in the distribution? And a second question - I looked on the Mandrake site and GOOGLEd quiite a bit, but couldn't find a list of the packages in contrib. Such a list does exist for the packages on the CDs (including a one-line explanation of what each package is). Does anyone know of such a list?
