Ah. You need to install the kernel-source RPM. It should be on the install CDs. If you're not trying to recreate the Mandrake kernel, you can download a recent kernel from kernel.org. Try this URL. http://ftp-mirror.internap.com/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/linux-2.4.19.tar.bz2 The difference is that Mandrake has added a lot of patches to work with all the weird peripherals out there (which is most useful on laptops - laptops aren't well-standardized), and the kernel you build from kernel.org's sources may not support some of your peripherals. The base system (CPU, memory, disk, keyboard, screen, mouse) shouldn't be any problem. When you get your linux unpacked, you should see a set of files and subdirectories similar to these.
