I hear that there is a way to use the ISO images on a FAT32 Partition to install Mandrake Linux 10 from the HD.

I have a FAT32 partition with the ISO Images on it. How would I go about this route?

Thanks in Advance.

I don't know about Mdk specifically, but the basic idea is to use a loop device & mount the files that way. You're going to need to get to a shell, mount the FAT32 drive & then you want to:

mount -o loop /path/to/image.iso /mnt/some_mount_point

the fun part is going to be getting the installer to handle this gracefully.
