 Err, none of the systems I have access to really tell you much about
 the distribution based on uname -a.
 
 This might work better:
 
   find /etc -maxdepth 1 -name \*release -or -name \*version

yeah, that works (try it on a mandrake box and tell me which answer's
right).

$ find /etc -maxdepth 1 -name \*release -or -name \*version
/etc/mandrake-release
/etc/redhat-release

hmmm

$ uname -a
Linux xx.nwtechops.com 2.6.3-7mdk #1 Wed Mar 17 15:56:42 CET 2004
i686 unknown unknown GNU/Linux

OK, I get it now.

The kernel rev stamp is different on all of the Linux dist's that I use
and I don't find myself confused with the output (SuSE pre 8 seems to be
an exception - only on the non-SLES versions though).

There's always more than one right way.

  I'd guess it's already installed. Find your terminal app and try 
  launching gtkam by typing:
  
  $ gtkam 
  
  If you get the app, that's good news.  Now we just need to find/build 
  the icon for gtkam.  An existing icon *might* be labeled as GPhoto.
  
  If the above doesn't work, let us know what this tells you:
  
  $ rpm -qi gtkam
  
  
  HTH,
 
 Make sure that you do this as root too...
 
 I haven't used MDK in a while, is there something similar to apt for
 mandrake now? URPMI? Don't know enough about it. I've been successful at
 getting a few newbies to use fedora recently and they've figured out
 apt-shell/apt-get fairly well. I'll go google now.
 
 

The stand-alone update agent in Mdk10 works a lot like the Red Hat
network daemon and the update feature in Mandrake Control Center is
reliable and easy. They aren't quite as capable when compared to the
Debian tools but they do work well.
