It's easy. You select the "US keyboard (international)" in the Mandrake 
control center -> hardware -> keyboard.

Then you can make use of "deadkeys" to type characters like � (single quote 
followed by a), � (backquote followed by e), � (single quote followed by e), 
� (second alt, equals sign, c -- took me a little while to find this one), 
and � (shift 6 followed by e).

Download xkeycaps if you want to explore it in more detail.
