I am new to linux and just downloaded and installed Mandrake on my computer in a Windows network. I'm very happy with the installation but now face a new challange. How can I view other computers and download a file from another computer's sharedocs local? (just like I'd normally do in xp windows)

I think you just solved my problem! Thank you very much for your support (-:

I reset my bios settings so that it will boot from the cd only and I copied the iso file to the 700mb cd using the explorer window in xp windows. I checked the cd in windows and it appears the .iso file is sitting on the cd. Thanks.

Yes I burned Mandrakelinux-10.0-Community-Download-CD1.i586.iso directly to cd1 and so on. The cd disk would not boot for me. I must be doing something basically wrong.

I am trying to install Mandrake 10.0 on a new AMD 2600+ with a 40gb hard drive. I downloaded the .iso files 10.0 Community and copied the .iso to the 3 disks. I put disk one into the cd and it wouldn't boot. CD 2 and 3 wouldn't boot either. What did I do wrong or need to do? Is the install disks bootable and can I format the hard drive with the install disks? Only want to run Linux on this new machine.
