I also have a set I made yesterday with all of the updates, and the set I made from the 9.2 tree. Neither of the latter two will install the distribution here, they both hang at second stage install stage. The ISOs I used to update my son's machine to 9.2 (made from a torrent download through his Club account) worked fine. So did the original cooker set made on 24 September 2003. > >Personally I think I'll wait for the 7 disk Power Pack from the Mandrake > >Store.

I will try an install just far enough to be certain everything works but since I'm already running it for all intents and purposes I won't be too concerned about a fresh install or upgrade. > I'll probably wait for the power pack, too.

Go figure.
