I'm not quite sure, but can't you just download it and burn it to c.d, then install all the packages you need from there....

If you have your Mandy 8.2 box connect to the internet, you should be able to 'update' from an ftp source, and set the ftp source to be that which contains all the Mandy 9.0 RPM files..... I think it should work in theory, but practice is often a very different beast!
