It will be mid to late Oct. before the PowerPack is out. If you have pre-ordered, or order the PowerPack through MandrakeSoft you will be sent the download set as soon as they are burned. This should br accomplished rather quickly since no box or manuals are neeeded. When installing the Powerpack you can run it as an Upgrade to the 8.1 installation or use the MandrakeUpdate option in the SoftwareMgr. Charles (-: P.S. I pre-ordered the PPack but I want everything yesterday so I have already downloaded the ISOs and plan to install on at least 1 machine this afternoon.
