Mandrake 7.1 is VERY OLD. It was released before Windows XP and will not partition a hard drive formatted with NTFS file system. The applications on the CD are all out of date. I would recommend you obtain a more recent version. Mandrake 10.1 will partition the hard drive for you. Internal 56k modems are usually 'winmodems' and require a proprietary driver. Drivers are available from www.linuxant.com The driver is speed limited to 14.4 kbps and you have to pay $15 to make it work at 56k. It is often cheaper to buy a used external serial modem which needs no driver. Mandrake 10.1 is available for download from the Internet for free. If you do not have access to high speed broadband you can buy CDs locally in South Africa at low cost from places like http://www.linuxwarehouse.co.za If cost is important to you it is possible to get CDs of the local South African linux distribution Ubuntu totally free without even postage charges. http://www.ubuntu.com/ I have never tried Ubuntu, but I hear it is very good.
