The fourth CD was a convenience for Club Members, but everything on it is available on the public ftp mirrors. If you do not have CD4 when installing, you should just hit cancel at the prompt and the installer should go right past it and not try to install anything on it. There is nothing on this fourth CD that is restricted from a licensing sense, it was just a convenience for people who supported the deistro by joining the club. There is some confusion right now with respect to the ftp mirror structure and where the packages reside, which I think Mandrake soft is working on at the moment. The stage Mandrake is at now may not be a good way to evaluate the product. We are in a pre-release phase right now that is really working out the kinks before the distro goes gold and is sent to manufacturing. You might want to install 9.2+updates for now or wait and try 10.0 when the official packs come out in May. At that point, 10.0 should be very stable and nearly bug free. -- /g
