All of the required information has been posted numerous times and in almost every week/month/year since these lists were started. A goo d archive can be found at: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=mandrake-newbie&r=1&w=2 for the newbie list. Suggestions below. Go to the Easy URPMI site and set one up by following the instructions _except_ don't use the remove media command. Just set it for a contrib mirror for your version and pick one close at hand for yourself. http://plf.zarb.org/~nanardon/ or you could just copy and paste this into a terminal as super user, but you won't learn anything from easy answers will you? The command: urpmi.addmedia contrib ftp://ftp.rediris.es/pub/linux/distributions/mandrake/9.2/contrib/i586 with ../../i586/Mandrake/base/hdlist2.cz is one "good" example. There are lots of good answers depending on your location, bandwidth, the time of day, etc. You could follow the pattern found in that command and go to the Mandrake download page http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/ftp.php3#586 to get an idea what servers are available and where they are located. The one in the example shown is in Spain.
