Interscope:
Each time I try to burn I get an error. I wasted like 4 cdrs. Yeah, i'm stupid, should've stopped at the first, or atleast the 2nd time I got the error. I hate myself. So em, is it possible to install Mandrake from the HD? I know you can install Red Hat from HD(Or at least my dad did that), but Mandrake isn't Red Hat.

Master of Reality:
i'm almost positive that you can.

i don't think you can if you only have the ISO images...
are you trying to burn the CDs from windows? i had that same problem for months, turned out some dlls had been overwritten and i had to totally reinstall windows. it has worked fine for a few months now, but i am frightened to install any new programs on it!

Interscope:
I have a proggie that extract ISO images to the HD, so don't worry about that.

But it seems that that proggie fucked up and didn't unpack some files properly, so installing isn't working. Or some other shit happend and it errored.

BTW, how much MB should I make the swap partition? I'm using 2GB for Linux(Will expand if satisfied with Linux, so i'm sure it will get larger) I have 8gb in total. Which sucks.

Calum:
make yr swap partition about 150Mb to 200Mb i'd say, also, you will probably not ever need more than 2Gb for linux, if you have large files, keep them on a seperate partition is my advice, you can then have 1 windows partition (4Gb), 1 linux partition(2Gb) then use the remaining 2 Gb (less the swap aprtition and so on) as a fat32 partition to store files on. This last partition can then be used by both operating systems and you can share files back and forth easily.
