Mandriva 2005 Limited Edition is now available at Mandriva Club members, and after 10-15 days for the rest. But anyone can get the whole thing right now if interested. Here's how:
1. Find a fast, close to you mirror from the Cooker list

2. Pick up your system architecture, eg i586, and enter the /install/images/ directory. Get from the there the boot.iso disk image (about 15 MB), burn it to a CD and then begin a network installation from the CD (it's quite easy).
Of course broadband is required, else it will take ages. The result is a complete 2005 Limited Edition, which is equivalent to the former "Community Version" (no official support).
During the installation you may wish to omit the KDE desktop files (it's not the latest 3.4.0) and get it from here instead:
http://rpm.nyvalls.se/kde10.2.html
(they work pretty well).
