As someone else said, you don't have a complete (thus valid) ISO file.

I happen to have the Mandriva 10.2 LE ISO files.  Here are their sizes:

733192192 Mandriva-Linux-2005-Limited-Edition-Download-CD1.i586.iso
731850752 Mandriva-Linux-2005-Limited-Edition-Download-CD2.i586.iso
729962496 Mandriva-Linux-2005-Limited-Edition-Download-CD3.i586.iso

Each ISO file is almost 700 MB.  Your 366 KB file is *way* too small.

The following two files merely contain md5 checksums and signatures:

      512 Mandriva-Linux-2005-Limited-Edition-Download-CD.i586.md5.asc
      536 Mandriva-Linux-2005-Limited-Edition-Download-CD.i586.sha1.asc

You can run "md5sum <iso file>" on each ISO file in order to visually
compare the files' official md5 hashes against the files you acquired.

Do "cat <md5.asc file>" to see the file contents -- the md5 checksums.

If you have a few CD-R blanks, you can use cdrecord to burn these ISOs:

Do "cdrecord scanbus" to get the hardware address of your DVD-R drive;
my SCSI CD-R drive is at address "0,3,0", but yours will be different.

Then do "cdrecord -eject dev=<DVD-R address> <ISO file>" to burn each
ISO file.  Substitute your <DVD-R address> and each <ISO file> name.

Hope that helps...
