Well, as I see it all these extras can be included in the boxed version,
the boxed I buy to get the extras and the boxed that support Mandrake .
Specially as Mandrake hdinstall today do not support install from more
than 1 (one!) ISO (RH7.3 can install from all 3 ISOs) and 700MB CDs are
more difficult to burn. Thats the reason I suggested staying with 650MB
CDs, avoid making Mandrake 9.0 download an expert distro.
