There is no partition magic with Mandrake 6.0 (which came with IT Mag). Although
there is one windows based installer, I couldn't get it working 'coz I have got
NT. Also installation from the CD(after mounting the CDROM) is not possible
because of it's packaging.
I managed to install it thru a local FTP server. And yes it contains lot many
utilities, themes, apps.
