Well, as we are all discovering right now, that is because there are
different 'versions' of 7.2, all of them clearly marked as '7.2', with no
real way of differentiating them, and what you get when you get them.

Thus, *your* 7.2 *has* joe, and thus *my* 7.2 does *not* have joe.

Thanks to Pixel for pointing to the faq that somehow explains this, albeit
it still lacks a list of what files are missing from the 'complete' version
from MacMillan.

Decidedly, bsed on this experience, this is the last time I will have spent
any sort of money on a MacMillan, and particularly a Mandrake product -
after all, the free downloads *ARE* more complete, so why am I spending my
money on something that only provides partially what's needed.

Too bad, truly, since I really wanted to send some money Mandrake's way.

I guess, once again, some meaning of the word 'complete' was undoubtedly
lost in translation.

I did, and it was the only truly helpful post in this exchange.
