ok this is how I do it from linux and extract to a partition that, as 
someone so elegantly put yesterday, "that won't get nuked during 
install".  hehe. 

mkdir /mnt/loop
mkdir /<path>/mandrake
mount /<path>/Mandrake90-cd1-inst.i586.iso -o loop /mnt/loop
cp -r /mnt/loop/* /path/mandrake/
umount /mnt/loop
mount /<path>/Mandrake90-cd2-ext.i586.iso -o loop /mnt/loop
cp -r /mnt/loop/* /<path>/mandrake
umount /mnt/loop
mount /<path>/Mandrake90-cd3-i18n.i586.iso -o loop /mnt/loop
cp -r /mnt/loop/* /<path>/mandrake
umount /mnt/loop

then to install:
cd /<path>/mandrake/Mandrake/images
dd if=hd.img of=/dev/fd0
/sbin/reboot

hth,
-s
