Be glad. =) It's the real Mandrake 7.2. All you need to do now is
fire up MandrakeUpdate, download and install the upgrades it will find
for you (*not* development updates but normal updates!) and you will
effectively have what Ron mistakenly called the "real 7.2" and is in
fact 7.2 (what you have) plus updates (what you will have once
MandrakeUpdate is completed upgrading packages).
