I'm running 9.2 / cooker on my server and desktop, installed via the
command line over the net.  It works well.  Printerdrake now looks much
nicer ;-)  Firebird and epiphany now come along with Mozilla.

I'd like to download the ISOs via torrent (so I can use it on my desktop
at work), but Paradise has a transparent proxy which breaks the code
that Mandrake uses to restrict the torrent downloads to Club members
only.  So until Mandrake can work around ISPs like that, I cannot
download the ISOs.  I wonder if it is worth asking Paradise to bypass
their proxy when going to the Mandrake Club IP?  My experience with them
handling requests like this has been a little mixed - do others have
experiences to share?

Best wishes,
Damon
