Where can I get it? There are many mirrors listed on www.mandrake.com. If you have a fast net connection, I'd suggest doing a network install. Just download the floppy image, boot it, and type in a mirror address. This way you only have to download the packages you want, not all of them. If you have a slow connection, better to get the ISOs. Current version is 9.0, but there is a beta2 version of 9.1 available as well. The main improvements in 9.1 are fonts and control centre, aside from the usual security fixes and updated packages. Austin -- Austin Acton Hon.B.Sc.
