Another option would be to buy it from Cheapbytes, or some other place like that...you just get the download disks, but it only costs about $5. Judging from another one of your posts, I really think you'll like 8.2 a lot better - I think it's the first Mandrake version to wrest the title of "Best Ever Mandrake" from 7.2.
