I found this on page 103 of the LXF43 (August 2003) issue of Linux Format magazine:
"Errata Fixes for issues with previous cover discs" is listed under Disc B Magazine on page 105 of the same issue. LXF issue 41 is the June 2003 issue.
I checked the directory and found these three files:
kdenetwork-kppp-3.1-31mdk.i586.rpm 607KB
OpenOffice.org-help-en-1.0.2-7mdk.i586.rpm 12,401KB
OpenOffice.org-l10n-en-1.0.2-7mdk.i586.rpm 1,805KB

BASTARDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i know it was a mistake but finally! i'm bloody glad to know what the problem was! i had given mandrake up for dead when i couldn't get kppp to work! you wouldn't believe what antics i had trying to shoehorn a version from red hat or an older mandrake on there. i think i did get it working but was not hopeful about mandrake 9.1's ease of use after such an abysmal start.
well now i know. i might go and get an untainted version from linuxiso.org, btw any idea if those errata can be found on the Internet?

Also, search /dev/modem for a solution to the problem with the missing /dev/modem in Mandrake Linux.

hm_murdock:
The internal modem shouldn't have to be removed to use PC Card modems.
I've never seen any 'book where that was required.
but it is HELL
