you got a ways to go, my friend! For Counterstrike to work under
Mandrake (thanks to Valve for never releasing Linux installers or
binaries), you will need to use Winex (Google it!). There is a free
version for download, but it is not *easy* to install, and may be
impossible unless you installed all the Development packages when you
installed Mandrake. If you want to give it a try, there are tutorials
for installing Winex from CVS (the free version), or you could pay the
people that put out Winex 5 bucks a month subscription fee and get a
nice installer in RPM format.

 lol sounds NOOB but i just now converted form windows and have no
 internet connection on theat comoputer

we all start out as NOOBs, don't worry about it.

You can, however, play all three Quakes and Unreal Tournament on Linux
without Winex, as well as many others.
