I am one of the developers of phpMyAdmin. I'm not sure which version of phpMyAdmin is shipped with Mandrake 8.2, but I can tell you that it is in your best interests to upgrade to the latest version (2.3.0-rc4 and 2.3.0 final in 2 weeks).

Sounds like some weird setup in Mandrake. See my advice above re upgrading.
