I need some help... I'm a noob with linux world, and to get started i downloaded Mandrake Linux 10.1 from linuxiso.org, i burned the images, and correctly booted from CD1.... now here's the problem... with CD1 the boot procedure stop right after 'Loading program into memory', and botting from CD2 can get into the installation program, but now it stops when loading the license agreement.... that am i doing wrong?

Are you sure the discs aren't corrupted? You can check using MD5sums. Look at this FTP dir (it's an example!). It has files in it, file.iso, and it has file.iso.md5 in it. You'll need an MD5 program to check the MD5 of the ISO you downloaded, then compare it with the one in the *.md5 file. You could also try to get CDs burned by someone else (Ubuntu ships them for free*).

This is a great help: How To Check MD5sums On A Linux Iso Image (LinuxISO.org)

*Though these aren't Mandriva (they changed their name from mandrake) CDs, ofcourse
