That is normal with Mandrake 10.x. Infact the issue of half ass software is normal from Mandrake. For some reason or another Mandrake ALWAYS leaves our a few critical files. I have experienced this in 8.x, 9.x and 10.x. Different files different times but always something left out or half ass put together. If you are looking for a corporate type distribution meaning one with the programs that are applicable to small business go to SuSE but you must realize that if you do not configure things their way or want to do something oddball you may have negative issues but if what you want is the best source of included proprietary programs then this should be your choice. If you can roil your own then there is Gentoo. If you want somebody else to roil it but open source only then there id Debian and Fedora.
