hi liljhand, welcome to lq. mandrake is based on redhat, thus it uses the rpm install method. have a look at this about installing rpm's
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...896#post310896 when searching for rpm's you'll probably find mandrake specific packages at most any rpm site. have a look here for rpm's http://rpmfind.net/ http://rpm.pbone.net/ also as w/any linux distro you can install from source, here is a link to a guide for that info. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...067#post221067 hope that clears up your ?'s. good luck. |
