We have the purchased set of mandrake 10.0 and CD 1 has decided its had enough. Has any one got a copy for us to use

http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/ftp.php3#iso might do the job?

the joy of linux is that companies can't sell the OS as such, more the support etc that goes with.

I have the commuinity edition10.1 on DVD which you could start install from and get any other rpms from own cds. -- I gave up on Mandrake and moved on to Debian based distros and Yoper and won't be going back as apt based package management is just so much better.

Also Linux Emporium have 3 cd sets of download edition of both 10.0 and 10.1 for 6 pounds

the Idiot Technologist here. Turned out that the CD was OK just a dodgy hardrive. A low level format did the trick. Apt based. Hmmmm... I'm just a Debianutante.
