For whatever reason Mandrake doesn't include jscal or jstest.  However these are part 
of the joystick package which can be downloaded from your local cooker mirror.  
Alternatively you can download the linuxconsole package from sourceforge.  jscal and 
jstest are in the ruby/utils directory.

Cheers,
