Amen!

But not everyone has a 700MB or even 650MB CD burner.   That's the 
reason given for the existence of the ISO files.

Also, the 9.0 MakeCD off a downloaded tree may try and include those 
things not in the Mandrake CDs, possibly requiring a 4th CD blank, which 
Mandrake did not want to do.

English-speaking users of our troels... downloading script have an 
advantage here, because only English components of the 9.0 tree are 
downloaded and the 9.0 MakeCD only needs 3 blanks to include everything, 
with space to spare:
