You might want to try installing the kernel-source rpm from the Mandrake CD's, then try installing your drivers.
neo_x500:
kernel-source rpm, is that the name of the file?kernel-source.rpm
emh:
It should be called something like:
kernel-source-2.4.21-0.16mdk.i586.rpm
Although the exact numbers may vary.
Just simply look for kernel-source in the Mandrake Control Center, under Software Management.

Ok, I finally got pciutils to install, and the two drivers I needed will go now too. Now, one final question before I get my modem up and running, how do I change the modules (drivers??) mandrake recognizes. Under the sound card in harddrake, it has unknown for the module, and under the modem it has www.linmodems.org. It doesn't have any place where I can change this, and double clicking and installing the rpms for the two drivers doesn't work either. Forgive the newbie. I'm starting to figure some things out though, like some basic commands in the terminal. I found it a little interesting that cd and dir were both commands it recognized, even those were from ms-DOS, but I bet MS didn't come up with either of those, but thought, "hey, we can use the commands these guys came up with."
Anyway, some help on how to configure a modem and sound card would be very useful right now.

sorry in a bit of a rush atm (politics exam) but man insmod, man lsmod, man rmmod and man modprobe should help.
