Hmm, I think kernel-2.4.19.16mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm is an i586-optimized, compiled kernel, not the headers. After a quick search on Google I found this: ftp://speakeasy.rpmfind.net/linux/Mandrake/updates/9.0/RPMS/kernel-source-2.4.19-32mdk.i586.rpm The -32mdk is the patch level from the guys at Mandrake (usually bootsplash type of things, custom logos, nothing major). Kernel base is still 2.4.19, so the difference with -16mdk should be minimum, at least less than they would be with big step backwards as 2.4.18.
