At I guess I would say not.. The time taken to print CD's and distribute boxes means a boxed version will almost certainly be the same as the online ISO's However the new 'update packages' facility at the end of the install procedure means purchasers of boxed sets can get the benefit of all the published 'errata' without having to look it up, which is a big improvement over previous releases. Since you already have the downloaded ISO's I assume you only want the boxed set either to get the 'commercial' packages on the extra CD's or you wish to reward Mandrake for the work exerted in putting together the distro. In either case a subscription to Mandrake club will give you what you need. Mandrake get more money than if they had sold a box set, and you get access to more downloads than are available in the box set. (I'll not go into the Star Office thing..) derek
