None of the RPM's included in the FOSS4G Tookit have been
obtained from subscription based Mandriva Club. Also the
Toolkit CD has been developed using the FREE Download Edition
of Mandriva Linux 2006 that can be downloaded from official
public mirrors without payment.

Looking for help with testing on other distros.
I think Debian/Ubuntu Advanced Packaging Tool(APT)
which can work RPM packages via apt-rpm.

Would be great if we could have testers for
Debian/Ubuntu/Fedora/Suse.
