Much more is available on-line, and a fair amount on the cds. These plus the mailing lists and the TWiki (see my sig) should help a lot.

It was a time-limited trial and, IIRC, had a discount offer with it.

That caused those models to die during the install. New ISOs are being prepared so that people with those drives can safely install 9.2, but it is at the expense of the udf capability in the kernel. No way round that - you can't have udf and safety for those drives. See http://mandrake.vmlinuz.ca/bin/view/Main/LgCdrom for a list of what is known to be affected/working.
