To install you will have to do a hard drive install. Write down the partition where you downloaded everything. Also the path to the mandrake/9.2/i586 directory.
Go to the 9.2/i586/Mandrake/images directory and make a bootdisk like this:
dd if=hd.img of=/dev/fd0
Now boot off this floppy. When it prompts you what type of install choose hard drive. Then tell it the partition where you downloaded the files, then tell it the path to the i586 directory. Thats it it should be a normal installation from there on.
