Although there are ways to create a CD in this fashion, most of them require Linux to already be installed. You want to download the ISO images from a Mandrake mirror, and burn them following the directions for your burner to make CDs from ISOs (do not just copy the ISO to a CD). You can get the ISOs from a mirror at http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/ftp.php3 -------- Note: If this answer resolves your problem, please remember to close this incident.

I used a program called win***(I forget the name) to extract the image file and then burnt those files into cdrom(I do not have the easy cd creator) but linux just do not recognize the cdrom as the installation cdrom. Finally I used other people's easy cd creator and used the "record cd from image file" option to create the installation cdrom and it worked. I compared two cdroms and I could not tell any difference between the two. I would really appreciate if you could tell me the difference between the two methods I used.
