I put all of my source packages here:

	ftp://k12linux.mesd.k12.or.us/pub/distributions/K12LTSP-srpm/

You can pull my patches out of the src.rpms and build them into the
equivilent Mandrake RPMS. If you are familiar with building packages,
it should be fairly straight-forward.

If you are trying to merge it into the installer, that's a whole different
story. The Red Hat and Mandrake installers are completely different, you
won't be able to get much out of my code with the exception of the general
concept.
