Re: [newbie] SNF was [I need your suggestions]
$39.00 US comes to serious money here in Canada Gerald. CDN $61.46 to be exact. Multiply by 1.579 roughly at the exchange rate at this moment. With the vagaries of the market here that item is closer to CDN $75. Just trying to help.

ftp://ftp.stealth.net/pub/mirrors/ftp.mandrake.com/Mandrake-iso/i586/MandrakeSecurity-SNF.src.iso I know it's in the i586 directory, but so is the i486 ISO for MDK 7.0. Go figure.

Re: [newbie] SNF was (I need your suggestions)
Download the source and compiling it for the i486 on the i486 is the best way, given enough room in mem, swap and hd. Instructions come with the source code. It can be tricky though.
