ok.... i finally got the iso image i was after of mandrake8.0(beta). i am 
able to mount it under /mnt/iso using the commands given above :-)
trouble is, i won't be running linux when i try to access these files as the 
intention is to install linux from these iso images. mandrake do not offer 
(at first sight) a boot disk for iso images. does anyone know how i can now 
install linux from these files?

do i create a custom boot disk and mount the file system manually during 
install or can it be a little more automated than this?
