You need all three cds to install mandrake 10.1 ce unless u r using dvd version.

i'm refering to official edition. when looking at the download page you will see over 4 thousand downloads for iso 1 and aprox 1.5k for iso 2 and 3.

They might download the rest later.

i've burned CD 1 immediately, after the download progress was completed.

When installed, ML's asked me CD 2,3. I cancel because i was downloading cd2 and 3. Next day, those cds was downloaded, i've installed all package that they were included!

I download isos from different ftp sites at the same time. Say if i want to download mandrake 10.1. I will go to one server and download first iso from there. And then go to another ftp site to download the second iso and so on. So all isos will download at the same time at 98kpbs each. I think many people do that, so they downloaded first iso from LQ and rest from somewhere else. This is just a guess. Cheers

i think you may be correct cyto. but i'm still going to try and install with cd 2 and 3 being ce just to see what happens. i'm playing with xandros on that partition atm.
