Wow, this thread had some nice info on getting started with mandrivia..
how about renaming the thread something related to mandrivia as some new comers might find this info useful ?
The biggest difference between time and space is that you can't reuse time.

Good idea.
Ok, now there's no 'command not found' but there's different problem. When I try to compile something, I get:
How to solve this problem? RegardsCannot find kernel version in /lib/modules/2.6.22.9-desktop-1mdv/build, is it configured?

What are you trying to do anyway?
I'm trying to compile a program. So, what's the error about?

what about gmake? do you have it? if so, just create a link to it in /usr/bin or whatever and name it make.
What program? Seems you are trying to compile something related to the kernel, because the procedure complains about missing the kernel sources.
Mandriva's make is GNU Make (gmake), so no tricks are needed.
$ ls -l `which gmake`
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2007-10-05 12:21 /usr/bin/gmake -> make*
I'm trying to compile ndiswrapper.
What's the last buch of code?

If you want ndiswrapper you obviously need the kernel sources, at least the stripped version. But why not simply install ndiswrapper instead of compiling it? "urpmi ndiswrapper" should do the trick. If it's not on the DVD, you should probably configure some network package source containing non-free software. Visiting http://easyurpmi.zarb.org might be a good thing to do either way.
I don't have kernel sources. When I download mine from www.kernel.org after unpacking archive a get a text file ?? What to do with it?

Don't download from kernel.org. Install the kernel-source or kernel-source-stripped package using your distro's package manager (rpmdrake/urpmi). I'd recommend installing ndiswrapper using urpmi though. It should be on your dvd.
