Update and minor correction

Parent article: Advertise with Mandrake Linux 9.2

They've specifically stated that there will be no ads in the screensaver.

The "ads", save for one in the install sequence, consist of as-shipped bookmarks
(easily removabe), and possibly a default home page (easily changed). They will be
theme appropriate for open source Linux. In fact, there was one sponsored
bookmark in 9.1, which I imagine quite a number of Linux folks actually appreciate,
a link to O'Reilly's reference book site. They say they received no complaints on
that, and as I said, promise new ones will be likewise appropriate.

(Typing this on Mandrake 9.2 Cooker, as updated from the mirrors yesterday.)

Also note that the installer already shows ads...

...but nobody even noticed, because they're ads for Mandrake themselves.
