Ok, I downloaded the ISO's of Mandrake Linux, and burned them, just as I did with Redhat Linux, now when I goto install Mandrake Linux, its great, until it starts copying files, and then it freezes about a quarter of the way into the copying. Please help me out here, Mandrake 8.1 looks great, and I wanna use it.

Do you get any errors that might help us out, or does it just freeze?
If the install does just freeze, where exactly does it happen?
If you've tried to reinstall, does it freeze in the same place each time?

how long did you let it sit frozen? i know sometimes when i install stuff it freezes for a really long time & i think it locks up...but if i let it sit it eventually goes...

Freezes at the exact same point every time into the installation, and I let it sit over night. I'm gonna restart, check the cable connectsion on my hardware, and then do it again, if that doesn't work , I'm gonna try doing a text only setup, cause maybe theres a difference.
