and _my_ point is (although I tried to say it nicely :)
get a recent util-vserver snapshot, and you'll get the
proper distribution files for f10 and f11 too!
don't complain that an older version doesn't have them!

it might work, but my 'Mandriva' simply uses the snapshots
provided by Daniel (i.e. compiled from the source) so
once again: getting a recent snapshot will provide that.
