I have the isos for Mandrake and would like to install them.
The problem is that all the partitions on that machine are XFS
formated. ( Except for the /boot partition, which is ext2 but way
too small to hold the isos. )

Does anyone know if it will be possible to install that way?
If not, will it be possible to install from network on a Windows NT
machine? I could set it up so that it installs from a nfs mounted
partition, but that would require lots of extra work.

TIA
