Yes. I only mirror the official LDP site, <http://www.linuxdoc.org/>. If
their HOWTOs are outdated then I think in the spirit of Linux development
someone should step up and volunteer to help keep the site updated. We
need a central repository for such documentation, mirrored to allow for
distribution of bandwidth. But we shouldn't fragment life even more, I
think. :)

Is it possible that it's Mandrake's RPMs that aren't updated? Compare the
contents of the main LDP site or my mirror with the contents of your RPM
and let me know which is which.

Recommend a good site to mirror and I'll see if it's worth it. :)

Good call! Are you volunteering? (kidding) :)
BTW, have you checked the mini HOWTO section? You may find some good
documents there, too. :)
