    Are you referring to Mandrake 10.1?

    The newest version is found here


    It is a boot CD that you can then install to your hard drive.

    If you still have to download it, the latest version is openSUSE 10.2. As a rule of thumb, always use the BitTorrent method when downloading such large files.

    To install, you need to boot from the DVD (or CD 1). Easy way: insert the DVD when windows is running and reboot with the DVD still in the drive. If your BIOS is set correctly, it should boot the DVD. You should get a nice looking blue screen. Select 'Installation' and press enter. The YaST installer is now loaded. openSUSE is fairly easy to install and comes with a partitioning tool, so you don't need to do this up front.
    It's a good idea to defragment the destination drive before installing. If you don't defragment the installer might not be able (it will throw a nasty error at you) to resize the partition so Linux can fit on it.
    If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I've installed SUSE a lot, so i'm very familiar with the procedure.
