really dumb question...
ok i decided to go with Mandrake so i went to the site to download it and that took me to a mirror site. ok. so once i get there were can i find the install file(s) that i need? i only see a series of folder and files. the ones that say intall are instructions but i don't see the files themselves.
also the install instructions that i see are to run linux from windows without partitioning. everything i've read says that you are supposed to partition your drive when running 2 operating systems, and i've also read that Mandrake will do that automatically???
thanks for your help...
