Its sure not nice that kernel-source is missing from download edition. I think its an oversight. Stating that this will put people off of mandrake is sure a bit much I think. the 3-cd iso set of powerpack contains the kernel source, so at least no problem for me, as if i get it downloaded at work, i will have all i need for the first. And also i have my DVD-only version ordered, so its just a question of time i would suffer from it. Steffen
