Less, in fact. But I'd rather get it from Mandrake if it doesn't cost a lot more (actually I noticed that 8.1 would have worked out cheaper than Cheapbytes, if you take shipping into consideration). If this isn't practical, and my university server mirrors 8.2 soon, it might be worth trying a download. OK, I've only got a standard 56K modem, but it's a fast server and it's almost literally next door (FTP on my office machine was actually faster than a CD installation!). Robin Robin
