OK, I think it was me that misunderstood. Mea culpa. If d4x is
on your CD's, a simple 'urpmi d4x' should install it. IIRC, I got it
from contribs (/RPMS2/ on any Mandrake mirror). But for just one
package it's hardly worth setting up FTP sources. Just bring up a
Mandrake mirror for your current version in a browser (Konqueror does
a good job) and d/l the d4x-2.4.0-1mdk rpm. Once you've got d4x
installed and configured, you won't need to d/l with a browser any
more ;)
You might as well wait a few days to get 9.1 iso's tho. I
suspect RC2 will be on the mirrors soon. People who install from the
current cooker mirrors are reporting that the installer already says
it's RC2. Then if you setup main (/RPMS) and contrib (/RPMS2) ftp
sources and use 'urpmi.update -a --wget && urpmi --auto-select' to
periodically get current with cooker, by the end of March, you'll
have 9.1 final ;) You'll do well to either subscribe to and read the
cooker mailing list, or at least check the list archive, while using
cooker.
