Is it possible to download progams aplications or anything from the net with a pc working on win 98 se and put it on a cd and then put it on a mandrake pc?

it shouldn't be a problem, as long as you have fat32 support built into your kernel. if you have a straight-out-of-the-box kernel, it's pretty likely that it's already in there.

I dont now if mandrake 7.0 comes with fat32 but i think it does , thanks for help.

I think that should work fine. I'm not really sure what Fat32 on the Linux side has to do with this though. A CD uses the ISO9660 File system or should. That is the support you need in Linux to read the CD. Once you read the CD it doesn't matter what FS Linux is using. Unless I mis-understood what you were wanting to do.

correct. FATxx support won't matter once you burn to CD and bring over; Linux will read the ISO9660 format of the CD just fine.

Thank you all for helping
