Angry Brand new user..Am i thick?


I don't know if i'm being stupid, but i've downloaded Linux Mandrake 8.2 with great difficulty. Now i'm having trouble installing it.

The files downloaded total something like 1.73GB.

I don't know what files to put on which cds.

I've tried variating, but linux never recognises the cd and i can't get past the boot process.

Any help?

Hope this helps.
