Downloading from the raw tree

I saw you can download Mandrake 9.2 from the raw tree. I am no newbie to linux, but i've never downloaded the raw tree before...anyone explain what I have to do? Do I create ISOs from whatever I have to download and then burn that or what? Thanks for any help you can provide.
 
Read the docs in the raw tree. Of particular interest is the README in the images directory.

Basic steps:
Find an ftp mirror (write down the url and path to mandrake).
Download/Write/Boot the network floppy image disk
Select your install type http/ftp/nfs
Enter the url / folder for the above (remember to write it down from the first step).
Install as usual.
 
Alright thanks. I was reading the docs but I didn't look every where I guess. Though I am extremely busy today...perhaps if I wasn't in such a hurry I would have understood.🙂
 
If you download the raw tree, you can just boot with the hd.img file and point it to the files on your hard drive. Alternatively, you can pull everything from across the network. You'll only need to download the network.img file and rawrite that to a floppy/bootable CD.

I decided I will just wait for ISOs.
I download, on average, 266-325Kb/second so I could do a network install easily, but i'd rather wait for the ISOs because I would like to keep a hard copy.
 
I know about the LG issue...that is too bad that they had to delay the release of them for that issue. Glad I never use LG drives tho!
