You could purchase a copy of Mdk10 official from a third party vendor. I am not a club member either an already have my copy of MDk10 official I purchased online.
Before I spend the time downloading all the files (rather than waiting for the isos) and try this, I'd like to sanity check the idea
1. In windows XP, download the entire i586 directory and burn the contents onto a DVD-R (assuming it'll fit, which it should).
2. Burn images/boot.iso to a CD.
3. Boot off the boot.iso CD and install off the DVD.
Does that seem reasonable and sensible to you folks? Or am I overlooking something?

I've never done it that way and that is not listed as one of the install options. I have all the files and a DVD drive but I don't have a DVD burner so I can't tell you for sure.
dont know how to do torrents..
only have win xp pro machine.. so ill wait for iso or buy it from mandrake store .. my bday is comin up real quick.. think i can talk the wife into it for a bday present
BTW in case anyone cares, it doesnt work.
I'll either wait for the ISOs to go public or (re)install the community release and then use the downloaded files to do an upgrade...
Think I might just wait and hopefully fix all my troubles in one fell swoop (i live in hope).
hey jag2000, u downloaded the official and it works with wifi? sweeeeeeet...would u mind my asking what chipset the wifi card has? ive had a hell of a time getting a usb wifi adapter to work with 9.2
on to a more 10 official subject, how long d'you guys think it'll take for the isos the be released to everyone?
