I've tried to burn several Iso's from both

ftp://ftp.cse.buffalo.edu/pub/Linux/mandrake-iso/ppc/
In both cases, I've used MSIE, from my G4/733 with OS 10.1.3. I click
on the link and the download manager successfully downloads the HUGE
files. I can mount the images a find the /Doc directory to read the
Install instructions.
I burned the raw (not mounted) images using the Burn Image selection
from the DiskCopy utility.
I can boot from the CD-1 Image by rebooting while pressing 'C' key and
get the 'Welcome to Mandrake Linux' (or something close to that) msg
and the first menu.
I can select install-radeon from the first menu, and then select the
CDROM method, tab to OK and hit enter.
What happens next (and herein is my problem) is a message appears
telling me that the CD 'does not appear to be a Mandrake Install CD'.
I suspect I've mangled something along the way. I've searched the
archives and read and (thought I) understood the burning instructions.
What am I missing ?

Browsers tend to mangle large downloads, you would be better off using
an FTP program. If you don't have once, there is a free version of
RBrowser (native OSX) at:
http://www.rbrowser.com/RBrowserLite/RBrowserLite.html
Check that the mdsums match before burning. Also, never mount the image
before burning, just open DiskCopy and go to the image menu, pick Burn
Image and use the dialog box to point to the iso. This is just my
experience.
