So what, they did not care, but Mandrake have to care.

Thats the hardware Mandrake have to run too. > I may be wrong here too, but i also think that the spanish version > of Corel Draw 11 comes in 5 CD's of 700MB each. > see above. And for both the price of a new CDROM-drive does not matter since you have to pay a lot for it and your machine needs power to run them. I would agree with you if this release is compiled for athlon64 or so, but there are machines out there with 133 Mhz and I guess XFCE or IceWM will run fine on them. At least it is a high-powered router with such a CPU. If it there for the burning I wouldn't care. But the same images will be shipped as PowerPack I guess. And have machines that could not install the powerpack is bad, and copying to hd is pointless, since with what should the content of cd copied ?
