Which form of Mandrake did you download? The ISO image, or the directory tree? Your best bet, if you want to install on a different machine than you downloaded on, would be to burn a CD with the ISO image. The CD would be bootable, no floppy necessary, unless you have old BIOS. If you downloaded the directory tree, you can do a network install, if both machines are on a network. You just need to share the directory tree on the download machine (I assume you're using Windows). Then boot the other machine from a floppy with the appropriate image on it, and install away! I believe, if you want to install from a Windows share, you'd use /images/bootnet.img. Read the README first. As for partitioning, check the list archives. There was a thread on it some time back, the subject line was "install problems 13.0gig" -Matt Stegman On 16 Aug, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Well, I downloaded all 500+ Meg of Mandrake 6.0 onto my hard drive.
