<http://www1.mandrivalinux.com/en/ftp.php3>, bottom right of the 
matrix, click on the "2006 Official, Move..." link and you will have 
a plethora of mirrors you can choose from. Mandriva 2006.0 is the 
current version. The ISO is only available to paid subscribers for 
the time being. It will be made available to the general public in a 
few weeks. In the meantime, you are certainly free to either do a net 
install or download the contents of the ISO, create your own ISO 
image, and burn your own installation CDs. Do not bother packaging 
anything for 10.1 or 2005 (a.k.a. 10.2) because they have both been 
superseded by 2006.
