You can get the ISO file(s) from here (http://linuxiso.org/mandrake.html) and then burn the file to a CD. Not sure what programs will allow you to do this in Linux but you can use Adaptec Easy CD Creator in Windows to burn the file to a disc.

Make sure you don't just burn the file on the CD but use a software program that supports burning ISO files. I think there's one in Linux called Nero or something...

Hi,

There is a program called 'blindread' which can do the job. I used it once to make a PS game ISO.

If you have a Linux distribution and you want to create a iso file, you can use the mkisofs app included in your actual linux system... just type:

mkisofs /mnt/cdrom/ /home/nameofthe.iso

and that's all...

that file can be mounted like any iso file system with the mount -t iso9660 command... :) :) :)

You *COULD* just copy the contents of the cd to a folder on your hard drive then reburn it to another cd.
