There is a way to do a net install via FTP (and maybe HTTP too). I've been tempted to try it, just to say I did, but haven't needed to. It involves making a boot disk which contains an extremely small version of linux. You boot off the disk, and then into the installer, where you input the address of some ftp site which contains Mandrake. However, finding a non ISO of the i486 install might be hard. Blashpemous as it sounds, Red Hat might be a better choice for your particular installation. http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/demos/Demo/Mandrake7/install/pages/install.html Has pointers on where to start. Pedantic as it sounds, you'll probably want a fast connection.
