Thanks Dennis and Todd, Am indeed doing this from a win 2k or 95/98 machine probably using adaptec cd creator. From what I can make of the mandrake website I need to write the ISO files to CDs as raw data.
So are files with the .ISO extension bootable then?

Mandrake90-cd1-inst.i586.iso Mandrake90-cd2-inst.i586.iso Mandrake90-cd3-i18n.i586.iso When you get on one of the ftp sites, if you do not see these files then click up on the directory to the next higher level until you see a folder with iso as it's label, go there. I think they have fixed the links to go to the right place now. Welcome to adventure called Linux, it is worth the trip.
