I'm trying to figure out how to make an installation using a local copy of a
distribution.

For Mandrake (and Redhat, etc.), there is an "images" directory at the top of
the install CD. In this directory there is the file "hd.img".

Suppose I have a copy of the distribution on /dev/hda10, a partition that won't
be formatted during my install. How do I use this image for the install?

Is it as simple as this:

   1.  mount /dev/hda10
   2. cd to the image directory
   3. type dd if=hd.img of=/dev/fd0
   4. boot off the floppy I just made

?
