.pdf`s can be viewed with xpdf or kghostview. The rpm`s should be on your
Mandrake cd`s. Alternatively, www.adobe.com also provides a Linux version
(5.0.8) of Adobe Acrobat reader (I was unable to get the Mandrake rpm or the
previous versions from Adobe to work).

.rar files are really for Windows. They can be extracted with `unrar`. I
found unrar-3.2.0-fr1.rpm and IIRC it was on www.sourceforge.net. It works
quite easily from the command line, the only odd thing is that the options
work without dashes as usual, e.g.: unrar x foo.rar (not ... -x ...). If you
don`t manage to find it I can mail it to you.

HTH
