Well I'm not Todd. But I might have an answer. In the first CD there are several images... copy the hd.img from that cd to a floppy. (in linux the cammand I believe is dd if=hd.img of=/dev/fd0 ) Make sure the floppy is unmounted when you do this. From Windows use rawrite. (under dosutils) then boot. tell it where the files are on your hdd and install as normal. You have to copy the Mandrake trees as they are (rpms rpms2 rpms3 for example.) A brief tutorial is at http://www.mandrakeuser.org/docs/install/ihdinst.html just in case.
