Mandrake 8.0 Out! FTP install possible anyone??? (Score 1)

has anyone successfully installed Mandrake 8 via ftp? during the file installation process, i keep getting, "operation died". tried every ftp mirror i could find and always the same problem. i'm linux-less right now...partitioned & formatted my red hat linux hd to install it. btw, the coolest thing i noticed so far (granted, i haven't actually really used it) was support for my logitech mousewheel!!! hope to be scrollin' in style soon! welp, if anyone had success with ftp install, please lemme know.
