As root: # for instance # mount KNOPPIX_V3.3-2003-11-14-EN.iso /mnt/cdrom -o loop=/dev/loop1 You can have up to 16 devices, so to do this for the three mandrake ISOs, just create consecutive numbered mount points (/mnt/cd1,cd2,cd3) and then redo the command via ctrl-R in bash, change each loop device (cd 1 is on /dev/loop1, cd 2 is on /dev/loop2, etc.) Now for the OP - I don't believe that you'll be able to mount those ISOs during the boot process. The HD install doesn't seem to have that option, last time I checked. So what you'll need to do is to ftp down the entire 10.2beta 2 tree, and then make a floppy from a file called 'hd.img' and do a hard disk install. If you have the ISOs though you can use this loopback mounting feature and just point your sources to each of the mounted directories. Slick and requires no CD changing and so forth. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ David E.
