Last time I used Mandrake, /etc/sysconfig/static-routes used the same
format as RedHat's.

Assuming the above...

The format of each line in the file is:

  any|<interface> [net|host] target [netmask Nm] [gw Gw] [metric N] [mss
M] [window W] [irtt  I] [reject] [mod] [dyn] [reinstate]

For example:

  eth2 net 172.16.16.0 netmask 255.255.255.0
  any host 10.1.1.1 gateway 192.168.1.1

A hyphen is prepended to the arguments so that the above configurations
would become the following commands:

  /sbin/route add -net 172.16.16.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth2
  /sbin/route add -host 10.1.1.1 gateway 192.168.1.1

I don't think you can add default routes using
/etc/sysconfig/static-routes - only host/net routes.
