As you mention a "DeLuxe" box it looks as you have bought a
Macmillan distribution.
MandrakeSoft is offering a PowerPack with 6 CDs and a written
user's guide and a written installation guide. The complete
contents of this PowerPack can be viewed on Mandrake's website.
As I have a complete PowerPack I know for sure what's in there
and it matches the website's listing to 100%.
What everybody else (like Macmillan) is selling under the name
of Mandrake is up to them. You may look at those companies'
websites for detailed info.
Same with Red Hat's distributions. There is only *one* original
distribution by Red Hat (actually there are more, but you get
what I mean) but many more Red Hat derived distros (like in
Germany the Red Hat Halloween) by other companies.
Conclusion:
There are only 2 original Mandrake 7.0 versions made by
MandrakeSoft. But there are some more by other companies. And
Mandrake cannot be held responsable for other companies' doings.
