this question was asked earlier on here but went unanswered.... here there are instructions for making 5 cd or 2 dvd versions of mandrake... but are these equivalent to mandrake powerpack??? or maybe powerpack +??
one other thing i noticed is that in the /pub/linux/mandrake/official/10.0 folder of the ftp sites where we find the /i586 folder there is also the link to the .iso containing folder and also /contib and /SRPMS folders... what do the later 2 folders contain???
After downloading countless ammount of files, I noticed
1) That my distro (by opening the VERSION) file is Mandrake Cooker 10.1 Community Download. I am now downloading the 10.1 Official (I use an FTP address in this forum, a couple of weeks ago)
2) When I try to create the ISO images with the mkcd program, I receive this errors:

check_last_relocatable: using previous relocatable dir 9.0001

I think I'll just download the 10.1 Community ISO disk (which are really good, I even have the Totern Movie Player with it, Wine, and much more stuff...), a great multimedia distro
