Hi Sean,

I think I have added zebra in the MNF2 iso  but I don't remember exactly.

MNF2 is based on a Mandrake 10.0 so you can go to any download
mandrake mirror and get it.

For example go to http://www1.mandrivalinux.com/en/ftp.php3
and replace 10.2 with 10.0 in all urls. You will then be able to
browse the contents of all the mirrors and get zebra for mnf2 (from
the contrib section if my memory is correct).

Does your request also include a web interface to configure zebra ?

Maybe if you tell me what type of configuration did you do for zebra
one can create you a web an MNF web interface for that.

my 2cts,

- Florin
