I have downloaded the setup files for Mandrake 10.0 and I want to Burn them to CD. But when i burn the file nothing happens. How do I get it to work. (going through cd-rs fast!) Its just one big file i thought there would be more. Anyways I have nero 6 if there is anything in there i could do. Thankyou very much. And as you can guess im a noob with linux.

Also IF I do manage to sort the problem of getting it to work. Would it be possible to boot from a dvd+rw. Intel P4 3.00GHZ HT 800MHZ FSB 1.5 GB PC3200 DDR SDRAM 128MB Radeon 9200SE 80GB 7200RPM SEAGATE BARRACUDA 4 GB Quantum Fireball 5400rpm

I don't know how you burned those three ISO files but it sounds to me like you burn them as data files, copying them from your HD to CDs which is WRONG!!! Open Nero and close the Wizard. Then from the main window, click Recorder and highlight Burn Image... In the words, you need to burn those ISO files as image files, not data files! If you do that, then you would be able to boot MandrakeLinux with the first CD (in fact, if you insert it in the drive while in Windows, a message pops up asking you if you want to install MandrakeLinux or not). taurus

Ok thankyou. Currently im not at MY computer so i will try when i get home. So instead of burning directlty. Just go into nero and burn as image. Thankyou Intel P4 3.00GHZ HT 800MHZ FSB 1.5 GB PC3200 DDR SDRAM 128MB Radeon 9200SE 80GB 7200RPM SEAGATE BARRACUDA 4 GB Quantum Fireball 5400rpm
