I've been using Mandrake since 9.0 and up till now have been really pleased with it.
I installed the download edition of v9.2 today and found that it no longer includes the kernel sources package!!
I checked on their website and they make no mention of not including it and it simply doesn't appear in the package list. It is, however, available on all their FTP mirrors (weighing in at 40MB!).
Has anyone heard anything about this? Is it a mistake or have they deliberately left it out?
Taken from the index.htm file on the Mandrake 9.2 distro on the cover of the latest Linux Format.
"3. Sources All the Mandrake Linux specific packages come with their sources in the source-CD (PowerPack Edition). You can download all the source packages from our FTP servers. If you don't have any convenient Internet access, Mandrake Linux can send you a source archive for a small fee. "
Worryingly I can't see the Kernel Headers either.....eek
