buring the download...

[oiper]

i downloaded mandrake 8.0 and it's about 4 gigs. the bulk of it is in the RPMS and RPMS.cooker files. how do i burn all 4 gigs to cd's. can i just split up the files without any problems?

Why not just d/l the iso images and burn them to cd? Would be a lot easier and is what most others do.

i agree. get the iso's (disc images)

if you don't know where to find them, check out www.linuxiso.org (http://www.linuxiso.org)

Check out the ftp mirrors at:
http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/ftp.php3

and look under the "Linux-mandrake 8.0 ISO images mirrors for i586 and higher" header for the mirror links.
