My Mandrake7 cd was burned. Well by maximumlinux but, it was still burned
free of charge. All I did was buy the magazine.

| Part of this is guess work and hopfully someone out there will correct
me
| if I am wrong.
| You will have to buy Mandrake since burning a CD is not an option. The
| Linux Mandrake 7.0 Complete can be purchased at Office Depot, Staples or
any
| of those type stores for $29.
| You will be able to install using your SCSI CDROM but as you already
| know you will not be able to use your CDROM once you boot into Linux and
you
| will probably need to use a Windows startup disk to load the drivers for
the
| CDROM in order to be able to start the installation program for Mandrake.
| The minimum. installation size is 600MB so you would be able to do that
| on an 800MB HD.
| Good luck to you if you decide to do it.
