I almost invariably will get iso's, mount them like this
mkdir /mnt/l1 mount /home/allen/Mandrake(blahdiblah)CD1.iso /mnt/l1 -o loop=/dev/loop0 cd /mnt/l1/Mandrake/RPMS Voila. All the rpms are there. rpm -Uvh ( which ones ) <enter> That has always worked for me... to varying degrees... I have to always tweak a few things afterwards and I wish that method was a little better... But you can make it work at least.
