Hi Steve, I assumed that Chris was asking about the commercial version, e.g. a "Power Pack" edition with commercial stuff on it (e.g. Real Player, ViaVoice, etc). I think the 3 disk set from Cheap Bytes is the same as the download version (the free and / or GPL compliant software), e.g. the ISOs available from various places:
146e585fc46463cb911fd7ac28e6ed69 Mandrake81-cd1-inst.i586.iso 5876d473593db386bf54c612fd5dfb7b Mandrake81-cd2-ext.i586.iso 598a606c69859d732c146bc9299a4de8 Mandrake81-cd3-supp.i586.iso I generally download the ISOs when they come out (happiness is a fast net connection). I usually show my (financial) support for Mandrake by buying the Power Pack edition when it comes out. And, of course, I give support to Mandrake by evangelizing the wonderfulness of Mandrake & Linux in general to any and all who will listen! But seriously, I have been very successful in at least getting people to dual boot; about 60% of the converts now spend more time in Linux than in That Other Operating System. I just re-checked PC connection, they still have the old versions, no new ones yet: http://www.pcconnection.com Regards, David On Monday 22 October 2001 16:42, you wrote: > On Mon, 22 Oct 2001 16:20:28 -0600, you wrote: > >Hi, > > > > IIRC there was a problem with getting their > >disks pressed... usually they did this in France, but > >decided to do this here. > > > > Oh, found a link about this: > > > > http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=01/10/12/1216231&mode=thread > > > >Regards, > > David > > CheapBytes is selling it - 3 disk version for $4.99 + $5.00 s/h.
