It has been a while since I built a Linux box.  I decided to load the new Mandrake 8.0 on the second hard drive of an old Win98 box I have.  I intended to build a dual boot system with Win98 on drive 1 and Linux on drive 2.  The install progresses just fine through partitioning the second drive and defining the mount points for /, /home, etc.  The install fails however, now the exact message escapes me, with a message something like "no basesystem found".

Any advice?  I am using a CD created from an image file.  It looks like all folders and files are present on the CD.
