With 8.2 you're going to run into driver problems, hardware compatibility
problems - to name a few. I would honestly think about either downloading the
2006 CD's that are available and upgrade them after 2006 is fully released
(which can be done online very simply), or just hold off and wait. If you
spend more than 30 minutes fighting with an unsupported, older version of
Mandrake/Mandriva, you're kinda wasting your time.
If you want to give it a go, you should be able to (as root) run XFdrake and
see if you can get SOME kind of recognition to basically get your X up and
running...but I'd heed the advice stated above...
