Sounds pretty straightforward - you're out of space. What size partitions
did you use?
I used the "erase hard drive option," which appears to just partition everything using the defaults.
I tried messing around with the custom partitioning a bit, but I would always get a "no bootstrap" error when I try to save the partitioning scheme.
If anyone could give me a fix for this, but also give me a good way to partition a 38GB hard drive for Mandrake, please tell me.
Missed you on IRC, I was wondering why you opted to use a 60000 ramdisk?
No reason in particular. I saw that you needed extra in order to load the second and third CDs, so I though I'd give it a bit of extra room. (You must understand, I am a complete newbie to Linux and UNIX, except for a bit of tinkering around on the OS X terminal.)

Alright, I start installing, and it installs all of the packages fine,
and then the problems occur. After i have entered the root password,
created my password, and set the auto-login, it tries to install the
bootloader.
At first i get an error box that says:
"Installation of bootloader failed. The following error occured:
:Cannot create temp file. aborting.
ybin: An error occured while building first stage loader. aborting..."
After dismissing this box, the following text shows up in the
background:
"Can't do inplace edit on /mnt/etc/modules.conf: No space left on
device at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/MDK/Common/File.pm line 226."
