I got the message (found /mnt/usr*) *during* installation of Mandrake
from CD. There is/was no /mnt/usr after reboot.

I never looked at a perl script before, and still don't know much of

I tried to find some command line way to discover the application within
any particular RPM and so far have been unsuccesful. Until I can do
