which is still not definitive. lets just say it this way (humor me for a second :) )
1) is the official version of that mandrake release already available to the public? 2) are the software packages in the powerpack version exactly equal to the software packages in the download edition (meaning they only differ in the manuals and support services)? 3) are there no extra packages in the powerpack version that is not freely distributable? if the answer to those 3 are all yes, then i would say that those iso images are legally distributable. if not then it is still (to my opinion) tantamount to posting against good faith because those are not yet officially released to the general public. anyway, i know that your intention is good. im just trying to validate if posting those links is ethical or not. ciao!
