Just download the files. IIRC, you only need the Mandrake and IMAGES
directories to do the install. Create a boot floppy and choose hard drive
install.

Is there any way to download the CD image to a spare hard disk partition
and install from that?

If you have access to a fast internet connection, just download the iso
image and burn a new cd - keep your old ones for the "extra" programs. Or,
buy one of the $1.99 cd's.

Either way, just boot from the new cd and run "upgrade" instead of install.

Hello all;

I understand that Mandrake 6.1 is due to be released soon (if not 
already). I just bought my copy of powerpack 6.0 two weeks ago. Does 
anybody know if MandrakeSoft has any upgrade policy or I have to pay 
another $50 to purchase the the new and improved version?

Thank you

M.S.
