I don't remember much about Mandrake's installer, in particular whether 
Mandrake uses GRUB or LILO as the boot loader (I'm presuming GRUB). That 
being said, it should be possible to just install Mandrake in the same 
partition where WinXP currently resides, and tell it to use the GRUB 
boot loader that's already there (from the Fedora install).

If you wipe everything out, it shouldn't matter which distro you install 
first (as long as one of them isn't a Windoze variant).
