Mandrake Linux 8.2 is no longer supported

As some of you may have realized already, Mandrake Linux 8.2 is no longer
being supported.  The date for Mandrake Linux 8.2's End of Life was
September 30th, 2003.

This policy is clearly outlined at:

http://www.mandrakesecure.net/en/productlifetime.php

With the forthcoming release of Mandrake Linux 9.2, it is necessary to
"revolve" support in this way to provide the best possible service on
currently supported and new distributions as they are produced.
MandrakeSoft currently maintains the following distributions:

Mandrake Linux 9.0
Mandrake Linux 9.1
Mandrake Linux 9.2
Multi Network Firewall 8.2
Corporate Server 2.1

All distributions have a standard 18mos support cycle.  Please refer to the
EOL policy document to see when currently supported distributions will
expire.

If you or your organization require a product that has a longer support
lifetime, consider purchasing Corporate Server, our enterprise server
offering that comes with 36mos of updates support.

Thank you.
