Ok... So I'm currently installing Mandrake Linux 10.01, and all has gone well... enough...
Until now. It seems to be stuck on the Bootloader installer. Does this usually take this long for a bootloader to instal? I thought it was done in a matter of seconds from my other experences. (sp)
Anyone know wy this is happening? It's a Gateway, and Mandrake is being installed on a 160GB SimpleTech USB drive with 4 partitions.

If no one has any ideas, I think it may have finished installing the bootloader. If the bootloader wasn't installed, how would I boot into Mandrake without it?
