No CD-R's, lots of HDD space

[Refalm]

So here is my problem:
I have bought a new HDD, and I want to install Mandrake Linux on it. I've made an ext3 partition + swap. When I was about to download Mandrake Linux ISO's, I found out that I ran out of CD-R's.

Is there a way to install ALL the 3 CD's of Mandrake Linux without the burning CD-R's part?

Yes.

In fact, with this disk image, you don't even need to download the images at all:

ftp://csociety-ftp.ecn.purdue.edu/pub/Mandrake/9.1/i586/images/network.img

Okay, I've rawwrited hd.img on a floppy, but I have a question. What happends if Mandrake Setup ask for the second or third CD during the installation?

you laugh at it and say 'silly mandrake, second/third CDs are for people with spare blank disks'
