Sorry I forgot about that - what you need to do is redefine the software
sources using the software sources manager found in the software mgmt
section of the mandrake control center (since they're assumming you can
get them from the ftp server in your workplace).  In an ideal world,
you'd specify an Internet location for your packages, since you don't
have CDs that work with your CD rom drive.  But since I recall you
telling me you're on a modem connection, and since we are talking about
10-15 MB of printing packages...... how long can you spend on-line?! 
Perhaps you'd be better off waiting for 9.1, which is 3 or 4 weeks away
(the CDs used in 9.1 will be compatible with older CD rom drives like
yours, so you can install from CD).  

Best wishes,
Damon
