Yes, cooker mirrors are often out-of-date ...

Mount all the ISO's, say under /mnt/mandrake/9.1/iso/{1,2,3}

In /mnt/mandrake/9.1, make a Mandrake directory, and from it, do:

ln -s ../iso/*/Mandrake/* .

This should give you a working setup, and for a network install you
would then specify the path to /mnt/mandrake/9.1/
