I have just tried the CD too. It fails also, so I have just wasted a fine 700MB CD. Why Mandrake has the inability to produce 650MB ISO images dispite the overwhelming demand for them on Mandrake Club I'll never know.
I think the problem is due to compiling the kernel with gcc 3.2.1. Does anyone know how to get a clean install working with a user-supplied kernel? Ed-T.
