I think that you should be able to turn the 3 CDs into a boot DVD using ISO Buster.
Extract all the files, maintaining the directory structure, into your temp folder.
Extract the boot sector into a file.

Create a new DVD-ROM (Boot) project in Nero - and select the boot sector you saved.
Add all the files.
Burn and enjoy!

The only problem may be the Advanced Settings. I know that for the Windows XP boot sector you need "No Emulation, Default Load Segment, 4 Load Sectors - I'm not sure if you need non-default settings for the Mandrake 10.0 boot sector. You may be able to figure this out using the size of the boot sector.

wow, thanks for the reply. i'll try it out...maybe (since i went back to my beloved core).
