I bought it in HomeDepot and is this product:
DRIcore Subfloor Basement Flooring Home Page
My friend used the Delta subfloor that comes in a roll.. I chose not to use that because it has to be glued or nailed to the concrete (recommended way) and it's not any cheaper. Also if the floor is not 100% even your top end floor will show it.
You can shim the dricore and pull it apart if needed (no glue, no nails, no nothing).
Look at the website and browse the FAQ. They used to have videos too.
My sister (same city) decided to use the vapour barrier under the carpet underlay and her basement is really cold and during the summer has that misty smell. Ours is awesome, I put vinyl planks on top of the dricore and is not cold to the touch, kids go down and play without socks and that is when outside is friigin Canadian Winter.
Cork will not help as the concrete slab need to breath, I suppose you can use sealant like someone said but if the waterbed in your area is not deep it will eventually pop that sealant in areas.
My buddy used dricore and in 2 days he finished his basment (pretty square area) and until today he still thinks it was the best thing for his basement.
Next house we build or move I'll do exactly the same thing.
Good luck!
Here I am installing the last two:
