Bah, just download it... if you're on dialup it will take you three days, and another 8-9 hours to get the updates... But it works.
Installing OpenGL drivers is another thing though, you are well advised to keep another copy of your kernel to boot from Lilo/GRUB, and do the whole patching thing from the shell (as root), with no xserver running at all. Under SuSE it's trivial to install OpenGL drivers (9.0 offers this option at the end of the installation, you just have to agree to a nonsensical licence agreement...), but in general I like Μandrake 9.2 (updated!) much more than SuSE 9.0.
You might also try to make a full install of Κnoppix on your HD, but 1. you must know how to use apt-get (IMO much better than Mandrake's urpmi, which is second best- but still synergies issues are there, due to the ****ty nature of .rpm packages), and either use the leatest version, or patch your kernel after that- as all Knoppix vesions but the very last one can NOT mount NTFS.
And of course Knoppix has no "live update" like Redhat/Fedora, SuSE or Mandrake...
