Hi Adrian,
I believe the auto install disk is one you can use to execute the exact
same Mandrake install which you just completed on another PC - useful if
you're setting up multiple machines. However, I think it will use the
entire harddrive of the other machines, i.e. wipe out any other OS on the
drive. I recall seeing a post recently where someone did that, and didn't
realize what the diskette would do.
cheers,
philomena
