[wplug] mandrake 8.0

[David Tessitor]

Mandrake took PSU's listing off shortly after Mdk 8.0 came out.  It was 
the only US mirror listed at that point and they were rather inundated 
(it took me a good bit to get on).  However, it is still available.  
Their URL is <ftp://carroll.cac.psu.edu>.  It has a limit of 25 non-PSU 
users daytime and 50 during off hours.  They also are accessible using 
"http:" instead of "ftp:"; user limits are the same but it tends to be 
less crowded; "rsync:" can also be used and its user limits are half the 
others.

University of Michigan, <ftp://bigfoot.eecs.umich.edu>, is an official 
Mandrake update site and I believe has Mdk8 now.  It's usually quite 
fast too, but PSU is faster (around 400 Kbytes/sec when I downloaded).

If anybody wants a copy, I might be able to burn some for the GUM.  I 
have a slow burner (2x max), so if nothing else, I'll have my copy there 
should somebody have a computer with a fast burner.  (Both iso files 
were checked against the md5 and both of the burned disks were verified 
against the iso's, so they should be good).
