Dual processor CPU? Is that from the department of redundancy department? If you do a lot of resource intensive jobs then duals would suit you better. Most people that say they want a dual system don't need one. I personally would only make use of dual CPUs when ripping CDs otherwise they'd just

cd /usr/src ls -l if you have a 'linux' directory it most likely points to Mandrake custom kernel which would be something like 2.4.18-mdk. If you don't have a linux directory pointing to something like that then create a link to do so. ln -s linux-2.4.18.mdk linux Then try your 'make menuconfig'
