tyme, thanks for your comments.
Seeing that RC1 has been out since the middle of February, and the Beta came out middle of January, I thought there might be some packages already put tegether. So I guess what your saying is; they don't start making RPMs until after the official release? Like I said, I'm new to Linux, and I'm not exactly sure how all these things work.
As for Mandrake Club, if Mandrake is the distros that I decide to go with, I will probably join. I'm learning alot, and I think that's worth something.
Going back to my question:
If I want a program that is not on the MDK10 disk, are there an issues with using 9.2 RPMs, including using urpmi to solve dependencies using a 9.2 ftp directory?
Also, what's a repo?
Thanks,
RideGuy
