That's the problem. You **MUST** install the updates before you put it
on the internet serving services. The stock install of 8.2 is
vulnerable with bind, apache, openssl, and openssh (a lot happens in 6
months!)
I suggest that you find a Mandrake mirror, download the entire updates
directory for 8.2 (RPMS only :) and burn them to CD's. Then carry them
around with you. Any time you come across an 8.2 machine, apply those
updates.
