Hello:

Over the past couple of days, I have become increasingly interested in downloading Mandrake Linux.

However, whenever I go to one of the mirror sites to download it, I am not sure which folder to go to to download the proper file(s) to do so.

Does anyone know which folder to go to to do so?

If so, I would be very appreciative.

Thanks,

I assume you found the mirror at

basically if you follow the version numbers, you want to download everything under the i586 folder

for example one of the mirrors listed on the site is
ftp://download.sourceforge.net/pub/mirrors/mandrake/8.0/i586/

you want to download everything under that folder

if you have a CD Burner, an easier way would be to just download the ISO images, and burn the CDs directly.

Thanks for that. I was ignorant and didn't look to the end of the page to see the .iso distro's, so I just am downloading them now.
