You must upgrade to the released Mandrake 7.1
In any case, networking will not work as left by the installer.
There is a lot you must set up yourself (try linuxconf?). Then you
must install the missing nfs-clients RPM and use ksysv to make the
nfs daemon load at boot time.

eth0, eth1, etc are NOT Linux devices. Look in /var/log/messages to
see whether they were set up and run ifconfig in a root terminal
window to confirm it.
