Or if the OP has that much bandwidth, and enough space, what's wrong with doing an hard drive install using the boot.iso in the images directory? That image is about 8 MB. A CD-RW current for the version of Mandrake wanted is all that's needed. That and knowing where the tree is on the drive. It's the quickest and easiest method since you don't have to wait for network slowdowns or switch disks or put up with speed bumps from optical drives. That's the method I use for most customer's systems I assemble. I got sick of paying for blank CD-Rs.
