From the Mandrike download site http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/ftp.php3

Mandrakelinux 10.0 Official ISOs: CD ISOs are already available for Club Members and will be available publicly by the end of May.

I've also been tryng to get that question answered.

I think you shpuld wait untill they release the ISO files or just download 9.2, that version is also nice

Is the Mandrake 10 free?
Or do I have to join the Mandrake Club in order to download it?

I know this is off-topic, but I've heard that Debian is the best Linux Distro

Any comments?

hi all!

this question was asked earlier on here but went unanswered.... here there are instructions for making 5 cd or 2 dvd versions of mandrake... but are these equivalent to mandrake powerpack??? or maybe powerpack +??

one other thing i noticed is that in the /pub/linux/mandrake/official/10.0 folder of the ftp sites where we find the /i586 folder there is also the link to the .iso containing folder and also /contib and /SRPMS folders... what do the later 2 folders contain???

thanks for your answers...

I would like to know if you can help me with my problem

./mkcd

BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./mkcd line 27.

Which file should I install in order to create the CDs?

I already tried with Suse 8.2 and Fedora Core 1, they both give me the same problem

After downloading countless ammount of files, I noticed
1) That my distro (by opening the VERSION) file is Mandrake Cooker 10.1 Community Download. I am now downloading the 10.1 Official (I use an FTP address in this forum, a couple of weeks ago)

2) When I try to create the ISO images with the mkcd program, I receive this errors:

I think I'll just download the 10.1 Community ISO disk (which are really good, I even have the Totern Movie Player with it, Wine, and much more stuff...), a great multimedia distro

When will the official 10.1 ISO be avaIlable?
