I've just switched from 8.1 download edition to 8.2 Power Pack and like
it. But there are some 8.1 packages that I'd like to use in 8.2, for
example:
* Blackbox (present on the 8.1 disks, not on 8.2)
* findutils (the 8.1 package contains slocate, 8.2 does not)
* Some themes for IceWM and XMMS
that is the laptop i've got.

I just bought Mankrake 8.1 Standard edition but I am having trouble
installing. The problem is that my laptop as a space for a floppy drive and
CD-ROM drive however I can only have one in at once at my BIOS won't allow

Are you quite sure your BIOS won't allow a CDROM boot? It must be a truely
ancient laptop if it doesn't.
It's not a Dell Insprion is it?
What normally happens is that the CDROM can be connected top the parallel
port via a special cable which carries the signal and enough
or rather the floppy drive has a cable, but the BIOS doesn't recognise it!

Didn't you get a LILO: prompt on screen? If so, try typing Linux, or just
hitting enter again.
If your machine hung, then I suspect you might be trying to install a 586
compiled distribution on something which isn't quite a 586
