Assuming that Mandrake has copied Red Hat in this regard (and would someone
say something if you know they haven't), the images are in the /images di-
rectory, with "boot.img" being the standard boot disk, "bootnet.img" is the
"network boot" disk (probably the one you're looking for) and "supp.img" is
the "supplemental" disk. Make all three, then try the "bootnet.img" disk.
