See the install.htm file.
IMPORTANT COMPATIBILITY NOTE:
Mandrakelinux is built with CPU speed optimizations for Pentium-class (Pentium(tm) and compatibles, AMD Athlon, Pentium 4...) so it WILL NOT RUN on older i386 and i486 based computers. However, a special version compiled for those CPUs will be available for download from our servers and on cheap CD-Roms.
All the Mandrakelinux specific packages come with their sources in the source-CD (PowerPack Edition).
You can download all the source packages from our FTP servers.
If you don't have any convenient Internet access, Mandrakelinux can send you a source archive for a small fee.
