Well, if you have time for a couple or three CD's full, you can download the latest mandrake from www.mandrake.com M7.1 is a bit hard to find - it bugs me that they don't keep the old ones hanging around - but the cheap cd places should have one, or I can make a copy and post to you when I get back to england (I have a slightly chopped one that came from a magazine) The problems I've had are because I don't have a booting (or indeed, any) cd player for the lib, and on the 70 there's not enough memory to install from the hd, so I stuff the disk in a desktop and install it there, then let the hardware detection get rid of the unneeded bits.
