Thank you all. Yesterday at night I installed updated Mandrake from DOS
partition.

But it seems the installation from HD partition works well with updated
packages too. Could anybody explain why?

I have another question related to CD preparation.
There were updated glibc-2.1.1-10 packages, that disappeared afterwards.
It happens to me to download them. Should they be used?

Tima.
