URPMI with Mandrake 10 Official

At Easy Urpmi I find very little sources for Mandrake 10 Official yet
there are so many other sources for all the versions lower or higher.

Right now the sources I selected (I've tried many) find very little.
I.e. I did an urpmi Firefox and it found nothing. I tried urpmi
firefox also and found nothing. The repsonce I get is,

unable to take medium "contrib" into account as no list file
[/var/lib/urpmi/list.contrib] exists
no package named firefox

When I add sources I'm looking for any errors but I don't see any.

Any comments on this?

10.1 is a good source for 10.0.
On a fast connection you can change 10.0 to 10.1 in a few hours.

Why are you looking for 10.0? Firefox was not part of 10.0, so why would
you expect to find it there?
Why don't you tell us what you want, instead of turning it into a
metaquestion. Eg, "I want to install forefox onto Mandrake 10.0. How can I
do it? Where can I find an rpm for it?"
But then I have no idea if that is the question you really wanted to ask.

10.0 did not include Firefox. Add the sources for 10.1. Then 'su' to
root in a terminal and type:

# urpmi -v mozilla-firefox

That should do it...
