Oh. You edit your "mandrake-release" file to say "Red Hat" and not "Linux
Mandrake". Reboot, and then RC thinks you're on RH.

There's instructions in the mailing list archives. When I get home tonight,
I can email you a RH-formatted mandrake-release file.

Since the snapshots are only compiled for RH 6 and 7, and Debian, this is
the only way I found to get RC to get the snaps for you.
