Agreed Charles! Let's put the "are they really there or not?" question to bed. If "ls -R cd-mnt-point | grep package-name" can't see them, they are not there. The question now is: "What does Mandrake do about it?"
Whatever they decide is probably OK with me. I am most annoyed right now by the deafening silence! Surely a "Yes, we know there's a problem and we are looking at the best way to address it" could at least be forthcoming! Wake up Mandrake! Your customers are expecting a response. It's one thing to screw up a delivery - something else altogether to say nothing and let people get madder and madder in the absence of any acknowledgment.
