I have no idea what to do with an "iso" file ...

The thing that really held me back was the download speed. On all the mirrors that Mandrake supplied, the fastest d/l speed I got was 4.2KB/s. I have a hard time waiting 6180 hours for a download, especially when I already have Mandrake 7.2 at home.
