Wouldn't work because it pointed to older releases. I needed Xfree 4.0 
and wanted KDE 2.2. The default grabbed 3.x and 2.0.

Finding the archives I wanted (for my newer versions) was painful. It 
was "hackish" to get the versions I wanted (stable but newer ones).

It wasn't an easy process to install newish versions of programs I 
wanted (i.e versions similar to what Mandrake ships). The install 
process needed a bit of polish (IMHO).
