Put the mandrake cd in and , if your bios supports it, just reboot and let the
install program load up from the bootable cdrom.  If not then u need a boot
disk and then install it.  

If I am not wrong there is a readme (or install) file in the root directory of
the cdrom which gives instructions for the various ways to install it.  

A word of caution : I came from slackware too initially and it is very tempting
to shrug something off as not good because it is not the way we are used to
doing things...that's how I started out since slackware and mandrake does have
their differences.  Keep and open mind and make a air judgement which dist.
suits u.  They both have their pros and cons I would like to think that each
dist. suits diff working styles.

Have fun using Linux (whichever distribution)...
