OK... I'm planning to include a slightly-less-than-single-ISO version of 9.2 plus the updates and an LG-proof kernel on the cover of an Australian magazine. It will be aimed at a single purpose: installing a secure, database-backed Mandrake Linux webserver/mailserver/gateway machine for developers to use either for real or as a staging area or an intranet server/testbed. What are the rules Mandrake would like me to follow? For example, if I include a PLF package or the NVidia/ATI drivers, what must I change? The distro's name? Licence terms? What can I do with the advertising screens? Are Mandrake happy for me to add extra images to the sequence, one to loudly remind the audience that this is not an official Mandrake distribution - it's been built for the magazine - one to advertise Linux contacts in Australia, and so on? What else? Cheers; Leon
