I believe you can install mdk on fat32, although it will run really slowly by comparison. (I know slack can do this). As far as NTFS, I know support for that is really shaky in just reading it from linux, so I doubt it.

Yes...you can install Mandrake on a FAT32 system.
Basicly, what it will do is create one very large file. When you go to boot linux, mandrake will automaticly expand this file into a linux filesystem on the fat32 partition. However, since this is not the native filesystem linux runs on, it will be very slow.
Its a good way to try out linux without actualy devoting a whole partition to it.
