[clug] Mandrake 10.0 is 4 CDs???

[Pearl Louis]

From what I understand, what was released to Mandrake Club members was 4 CDs.  
What was put for public download to non-members was 3.  So I guess the 4 CD 
thing was something 'special' for Club members.  Since all the online places 
had Mandrake 10 for sale before the public release, they have the 4 CD 
version.  I have the 4th CD if you need it.
