As root: # for instance # mount KNOPPIX_V3.3-2003-11-14-EN.iso /mnt/cdrom -o loop=/dev/loop1 You can have up to 16 devices, so to do this for the three mandrake ISOs, just create consecutive numbered mount points (/mnt/cd1,cd2,cd3) and then redo the command via ctrl-R in bash, change each loop device (cd 1 is on /dev/loop1, cd 2 is on /dev/loop2, etc.) Now for the OP - I don't believe that you'll be able to mount those ISOs during the boot process. The HD install doesn't seem to have that option, last time I checked. So what you'll need to do is to ftp down the entire 10.2beta 2 tree, and then make a floppy from a file called 'hd.img' and do a hard disk install. If you have the ISOs though you can use this loopback mounting feature and just point your sources to each of the mounted directories. Slick and requires no CD changing and so forth. -- David E.

Is there a way to updtae do mandrake 10, without burning the iso? My cd-r is broken... Can I download the 10b2, and install? Hi there, There certainly is! All you have to do is save it to harddrive and then mount it as though it were a normal cd. Unfortunately, I am not skilled enough to tell you how to do it! You might google, or if the )*&^)(* Mandrake mailing list from about a week ago gets archived in the next 10 yrs or so you can search them. Someone was asking about putting the cds onto harddrive. I have had a scan of the emails on both expert and newbie... sorry can't find it. Maybe start a new thread asking for "mounting isos from the harddrive" or somthing if no one else answers.
