Excuse me for dragging this issue around one more time, but isn't Walmart selling VIA C3 machines with Mandrake preinstalled? If so, were these machines introduced with 9.0 or 8.2? If they were introduced with 8.2 and buyers attempt to upgrade to 9.0 this could become a real pain for Mandrake. I would be a very unhappy customer if I bought a Mandrake based machine and then had problems reinstalling Mandrake on it. Has anyone checked this out?
