While i never got Mandrake to work because it always refused to write the
boot loader, i did get the CD to install just fine. YDL 2.0 worked great as
well.
I simply downloaded the .iso, mounted it with Daemon Tools as a virtual
CD-ROM and used EZCD's cd-copier software to duplicate it. Worked great.
CDRWin should also be able to do this just as well, and even simpler.
