This can work. Partition should be ext2. If you want the 2nd CD
packages, you'll need to make another directory:

Mandrake/RPMS2

and put the rpm's on CD2 there

I'm using this technique now, for local installs to make sure the subset
of all the packages that ends up on the 2 CD's isn't omitting any
libraries or packages that may be getting masked when I do and NFS install
using the whole tree.
