Welcome to the board! :D

 

the installation of both rpm's and tar.gz's is covered in this FAQ.

 

I'd suggest posting a seperate thread about your modem problem in the hardware forum :)

Many time you use neither. Almost always (at least for me), the package I need is in urpmi. Go to the easy-urpmi link at the top of the site to set it up (you'll need the internet though.

 

Go to the Mandrake Control Center (Kmenu->System->Configure your computer I believe), and go into the network section, there you can select a driver to use. There's a good chance Mandrake already has a driver for your particular hardware.

when you get a program through urpmi, it's in rpm format ;)

Yes, but for a long time (and I'll bet many people thought this) I installed stuff with rpm -iv rather than urpmi, which wasn't good for system continuity. Even if you download an RPM, use urpmi [packagename].
