how big is the hard disk, if there is space and win is installed and you have
the utilities to do it you could make room for a partition to copy one iso to
and do a hard disk install using the hd.img on floppy, you could then add the
other cd's
iirc one can copy the contents of all the cds into one single directory
stucture with cds 2 and 3 going under .../Mandrake/RPMS2 and /RPMS3
respectively, however the partition with the install files on it is then
unavailable for installing onto and it might be nice to maximise the space

Hi,
This is just an update to let everyone know that the problem with the white
