For unreleased Mandrake you can download (use rsync) from the mirror sites: 1. The 7.2beta tree (930MB), or 2. The cooker tree (951MB), or 3. The two iso images of 7.2beta 3. 1&2 are still very active - about 20 to 450 changed files a day. You must download these into a partition that is big enough and other than any which will be installed to. All are installable without having to burn a CD by creating a floppy from /images/hd.img as per the install instructions and booting from it. The Select partition dialog from hd.img has an option to load from a loopback-mounted iso CD image file. But there are problems: 1. The 7.2b3 iso images are old and are missing about 20 RPMs. Don't bother. 2. The iso option of the Select Partitions dialog does not work. Don't bother. -- Regards, Ron. [AU]
