I do have ALL Mandrake releases, but I am on a cable connection, (I wish I had at least a T1) and put them in a FTP site, if you guys tell me what versions are you interested in, I will open the FTP site with them, just be patient, the connection is not the greatest. Or: I can upload to someone else with a faster site, and you can download from it... tell me what do you think? and give and address to upload one at a time.
