Installing Madrake 10.0 DVD

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.
