To install Mandrake 10.1 from DVD or CD you MUST have coppied the additional 
device drivers to a floppy and have that floppy in the floppy drive. 
If you do not have a floppy drive then it probably would be best to choose 
some other method of installation.
If you downloaded Mandrake 10.1 I have no idea where you get the auxiliary 
device drivers off the CD or DVD.
There was considerable discussion on this on this BB archives approximately 1 
or 2 months back with the final posting being mine describing in detail how I 
accomplished this. I would repost except I might miss a few details not 
having my notes with me.

PS: SuSE 9.2 installation is much easer than Mandrake 10.1.
