I solved the problem by using a rescue disk to load a minimal linux on my
system, using fdisk to create my partitions, then restarting the install.

Mandrake's not asking me about Fdisk or Disk Druid, if that's what you're
asking. and no, I haven't gotten to the part where it asks where to install
to.

Ok...silly question ... you DID *create* some partitions
for Mandrake to install onto, right? Or is it getting that
far?
Have you gotten to the part where it asks where to install
to?
