it is too difficult to get CD throw Internet. I really wanna download ISOs.
I've already bought a copy of Mandrake linux 9.2 from a shop, but I found that they didnt give me the key......
i still can't download...... the Community edition is not a good one. it includes too many bugs.
Key? What Key? I wasn't aware that Mandrake uses keys. :hmm:
Anyway, if you want the ISOs early, pay for club membership. If you can't or won't pay, wait a week. I'm sure that you can live a week without the CDs; if not, then they matter enough to you to be worth some money.

What other fancy words does MDK use for beta? Official? I'm not made out of CD-R's. I don't need to end up with 150 CD-R's of MDK in five years.
if you dont like it then use another distro, mandrake isn't holding a gun to your head and forcing you to use their products, at the end of the day you are not willing to pay anything so they're not even benefitting from you, they dont owe you a thing m8...
why not become a club member and show your support? i wanted my iso's and that's what i did!
that was the site i was checking out.. doesnt have isos yet of 10.. that was how i found 9.2
i guess ill wait a few more days....... i dont have my new 80 gb hdd for it yet anyhow. i just wanted to have everything ready for it
The iso's are not available yet. Just download everything in the mandrake/official/10.0/i586 directory. You can also get everything in the contrib directory. Make a boot cd using the images/boot.iso. When it asks you what type of install select to install off the hard drive. Tell it the partition and directory where you downloaded and away you go! No need for cds. It makes adding software extremely easy too. No more loading cd's.
if i download all of that thru win xp pro.. save it to hdd.. tehn make floppy boot disk.. boot to floppy.. saved files are on c:.. but my new hdd should be d: that will hold drake.. how will linux be able to read my c: where i stored it.. my win xp pro is ntfs..
