All you're really doing is giving an IP (which can be DHCP) and a root password (which you can change after the install) the rest is generic info about the packages to be installed. The places its pulling down the RPM's from are reputable..
But if you're really worried you can download the LinuxCOE application from source forge and set up your own site..
hmmmm ... does seem interesting, but when I went thru it there is no setup for Mandrake. I'm in the process of setting up another Linux box, maybe I'll use it there. Thanks, I'll bookmark the page.
ShadowAce seems to be finding a lot of good material lately, hasn't he?
Thanks for the ping and the earlier help!
