You're gonna hate this, but ppc is the wrong ISO for a Windows computer. That's for Power PC. Mac in other words. You need the i586 ISOs, and for 8.2 I'd recommend all three CDs since there's a lot of apps on that third disk to help easing the "blow away Windows completely" objective. Why not version 9.0? Dolphin has a lot of 'new' built into it but it was the easiest Mandrake I have installed for anyone. 6 times so far not counting me. <g> Still has a few teething pains though. Since you don't have a proper disk this may not be relevant: http://www.linuxiso.org/viewdoc.php/isofaq.html#badburn may explain why you only see one large file etc. That's why the subject is "badburn." The whole page is useful. Want a howto? http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/howtos/iso/howtoisoen.html You're burning software should recognise the ISO and there should be an option to make it a bootable disk. Don't quote me on that since it's going on three years since I burned anything under Windows. :-) Good luck. -- Charlie Edmonton,AB,Canada Registered user 244963 at http://counter.li.org QOTD: "My life is a soap opera, but who gets the movie rights?"
