This might or might not help I'm not sure. But does anyone know how to do
a hdd install? Maybe if you partition off a 650 meg piece of the
drive. Put the Mandrake distro on this portion, you can install from
there. I'm not sure on the location of the HowTo on this but I'm sure
someone will know. I've seen it done at an install-a-thon for some
notebooks so it should work on a desktop.
