update, main, jpackage all still exist but what happened to club? now I have free and non free?

also, whenever I go into media management, I only see free, non free, and updates.... any ideas why I dont see main, jpackage or contrib?

Follow the instructions in my sig.

excellent, I followed the instructions but now I have a few questions...

what happened to club?

The site says one of the main packages is PLF, whats the difference between free and non free?

after doing all that, whenever I go into media management, I only see free, non free, and updates.... any ideas why I dont see main, jpackage or contrib?

If you followed the instructions you would see

main
plf
jpackage
contrib

In addition to any older entries you had prior to this.

If you do NOT see the above, then you either selected a busy or unavailable source/mirror or your internet connection was not working at the time.

You'll need to try again.

Basically everything available via Club is on contrib.

whats the difference between free and non free?

Basically it boils down to the drivers and a few RPM packages such as RealPlayer (which is not the commercial version btw, it's the "free" version packaged as an RPM!).

The Pay version includes prebuild and customized RPM's for ATI, NVIDIA, DSL modems, and a few other devices... such as the slmodemd/slamr winmodem, etc.

ALL of these are available through other means, albeit with a bit more work on your part to install...

e.g. the Nvidia driver is available from Nvidia, but requires installation of the kernel-source tree and letting the Nvidia driver build a new module.

slmodem is available (in newer form) off the net, but you must compile the driver and apply patches... easy to do.

etc.

That's about it.

If you've set up your URPMI sources, you actually have access to a bunch of programs which ARE NOT included in the DVD, in addition to those on the DVD powerpack.
