AHH !! So that's why the Mandrake 8 install flaked out on my 50.
Never mind, Debian installed fine straight from a FAT partition on the HD,
I even left the second and third cd's as ISO's on the HD, as that was how
I'd downloaded them :)
It even recognised my Psion Gold card combined moden/ethernet card and set
it up correctly :)
