Great. The set of 2 CDs should get you up and running. If you need

Before selecting a file, hold down the [shift] key and then click on the file.

Hi all

I think I've found the problem file: Mandrake/Base/Serial.

If I try to download the file with Internet Explorer (right-click & select
save target as), it gets saved as a blank .txt file.  Obviously using this
file (after removing the .txt extension) when installing Mandrake doesn't
work.

If I click on the file link itself, it opens a blank web page.  On viewing
the page's source I get the following (saving and using this file when
installing also doesn't work):







If I download the Serial file using GetRight, the contents when viewed in
Notepad is as follows:

Oh sh_ _!  I just copied and pasted that from Notepad but it doesn't look
anything like that in Notepad!  I've included the Serial file as an
attachment.  Perhaps someone might know what the problem is.  Or better
still, maybe someone would be kind enough to email the file to me?

I'm looking to buy the CDs from someone in NZ if possible because it doesn't
look like I'll get Mandrake installed from the files I downloaded.  But in
the meantime...
