I think you are looking for all.rdz? ftp://mandrake.redbox.cz/Mandrake-devel/cooker/i586/isolinux/alt0/all.rdz It needs a kernel too: ftp://mandrake.redbox.cz/Mandrake-devel/cooker/i586/isolinux/alt0/vmlinuz > > Could I use such an image from a small hd partition to boot from? Yes, and I think this is covered in the CookerHowto on the Wiki. > What is the best method to boot of disk? > Save it in my home partition which normally survives between installs? If you have a local cooker mirror, you can boot it straight from there. I have a seperate /boot on my desktop, so I put things there. On my laptop, I stuck it and my lilo.conf in /home (along with a script to reinstall lilo, since I did this a few times). > Save it on my windows partition, which also survives, and is bootable? > Is there some setup that would be easy for a newbie? > Download to ypur windows partition and then boot from there? > (may be only a win98 thing, XP may not allow that) Yes, this should be possible with loadlin (but this seems not to be in /dosutils any more), but not for 2k/XP, and probably not NT either. I don't think they can boot linux directly :-(.
