Seems like you are looking at the MacMillian version, not the true Mandrake
version. Same Installation disk, but the extras are different. I think the
Linux Library refers to a few books in PDF format on one of the disks.
I purchased the MacMillian version since it is what the local shops seemed to
have. I would prefer if they carried the regular Mandrake PowerPack instead.

Beats me, I can't find them anywhere either. Wish I could, as I have a few of the
books in real paper format and the PDF versions are easier to read while at the
computer. On the other hand you can't easily take the PDF versions to the bath
or bedroom with you.
