Do you have a /Mandrake directory on your CD? Is it the exact same
structure as the original CD?

Is the CD in Rock-Ridge, Joliet or plain iso9660? (If someone could answer
that, I'd appreciate!)

What software are you using to burn your CD and what version?

When a program terminates abnormally, it creates a core file.

Leave klogd (kernel log) and inetd. If you don't have inetd enabled,
you'll find most  web, ftp, etc. sites will not allow you in.

named and sendmail, it's safe to turn them off, if you configure your
internet applications to use your ISP's servers.

You can turn them off easily using linuxconf, in the control panel
section.
