Hey Nick,
From my experience with Mandrake 6.0, There are a lot of fixes
that you will need to get it working without any sort of Internet access.
Broken symbolic links, innitscript problems, etc. I understand they fixed
this in Mandrake 6.1. I'm don't know personally though as I've never gone
back(can't see justifying putting a system out thats not throughly
tested). Anyhow fixing these problems might make a huge effect in what
you're trying to do
