I use SRM but I had the same problem. You need to do what Pixel suggests,
after formating your harddrive in the Mandrake install, you need to exit the
install, reboot, begin the install again and don't format it the second time.
This should solve the filesystem problems. (Mine is PWS 433) Good luck. Let
me know if you get your FTP and Telnet servers up. I could never get them to
work with the Mandrake 7.0 distro for Alpha.
