Try installing some things as modules. Make careful decisions about what to put
in as a module and what not to. One thing is, i think that some of the Mandrake
kernels have been made with patches, so just getting the .config file might not
be the only thing you need to do.

To configure it? Use sndconfig.
Is it an isa card? In that case do something like this:
cp /etc/isapnp.conf /etc/isapnp.conf.bak
pnpdump /etc/isapnp.conf
isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf
Standard Advice: Read the man pages on those commands i mentioned :-)
Good luck

I think it might help you to read the man page for rpm: man rpm, and see the

If you're looking for things specific to rpmdrake, try locate rpmdrake

Most of those things you will need to run as root.
