I'm sorry for being such a pain, but could you please give me a little
"step by step" for deleting these files? I'm not familiar with how do
go about this in Mandrake.

And how would I "comment out" these lines? (again...a step by step
please?).

I tried, but the installation program keeps telling me that I need
more and more dependencies, and since I can only currently connect via
a very slow dial-up while I'm in Mandrake (until I can sort out the
Ethernet connection), I downloaded the six files while I was in
Windows, then burned them to CD-R. I tried to install them from the
CD-R, but, as mentioned above, the installation always "failed"
because I needed more and more dependencies that apparently, I don't
have yet.

I will try your first suggestion of deleting files and "commenting
out" the "eth*" bits, but I will need some more detailed instructions
for these procedures.

Thanks!
