[plug] Mandrake 10.1 local PLF and Contrib, 2 YO and CDs

[Scott Middleton]

Hi PLUGgers

Here are the new rsync urpmi command lines for Mandrake 10.1:
urpmi.addmedia contrib
rsync://mirror.pacific.net.au::mandrake/devel/10.1/i586/media/contrib
with media_info/hdlist.cz
urpmi.addmedia plf rsync://rsync.planetmirror.com::plf/mandrake/10.1
with hdlist.cz
urpmi.addmedia main
rsync://mirror.pacific.net.au::mandrake/devel/10.1/i586/media/main with
media_info/hdlist.cz

Pacific.net is on WAIX but planetmirror is not.

If you want to upgrade your Mandrake to the newest without blowing the
whole system* do this:
Remove the old sources    ---- urpmi.remove -a
Add the new sources above ---- urpmi.addmedia plf/contrib/main etc....
Then update the packages  ---- urpmi --auto-select
Depending on your connection speed you can watch 1-3 movies of the Lord
of the Rings. I have a 2048/2048 and it took over an hour.

*You may anyway. Took me a while to get my scroll mouse working
(/etc/X11/xorg.conf). I have just got Evolution 2.0 working properly. I
don't like its lookout 2003 style either. I like my folder list taking
up the entire side!

2 Years Old
This month we are 2 years old. Over the last few weeks I compiled a few
photos so that I could remember where we came from.

Feel free to laugh at us. :)

New CD Prices
We have also dropped our CD prices to a new permanent low.
Mandrake 10.1 Community 4CD is $12.98
Debian Sarge 13CD is $49.99
Debian Sarge 2DVD with a DVDROM is $59.98

Media is very cheap nowadays and with 52X burners it is very quick, so
we felt we may as well drop the prices to be lower than everyone else.
