well this is not the answer you want, but.........

assume you can indeed install mandrake on machines for clients for nothing, 
from your disks (as far as i know you infact can, but what do i know?) and 
you do so.  as a friendly member of the open source community, wouldn't it be 
nice if you charged an extra $10 on the sale and then "donated" that money to 
mandrake?  maybe make 10 or 20 sales and do it all at once?

selfishly, i think of it as encouraging mandrake to continue making a fine 
product.  i have loaded many a mandrake system since i started using 7.1, and 
i try to make small donations to them as repayment, just a thought.
