Thanks for all your help here guys, you have all been very kind and helpful. Running os X, i say to hell with Safari, it's stuffed. The first time i downloaded Mandriva, it was the direct iso through safari web browser. The download came up with an error after 3.1 gb complete, after that i tried the bit torent, it downloaded but then when i tried installing it, the problem this page orriginally adresses was caused. I finally gave the direct download another go it came up with an error at 2.8 gb complete (I think it's important to point out that i use prepaid usb internet which has a stupid charge rate so all these unsuccesful downloads being so larg have cost me money, and take about 12 or more hours each). I downloaded os x's version of Firefox, and attempted to download it again and it was succesful, and now to my delight, Mandriva is installed in parallels desktop working. (-:
morel of the story, Firefox rules, yes even on Mac.
