To run desired application, if it is not in mandrake menu (strange, however, cause it must be there. And if it isn't I recommend to run menudrake!) go to corresponding directory using terminal
cd /Games - for example
and run desired application by typing ./"name of application"

What you got? RPM? Source tarball?

Install rpm's like this:

Code:

# rpm -ivh <name-of-rpm>.rpm

For source you need to unpack the source:

Code:

# tar xzf name-of-file.tar.gz # or....
# tar xjf name-of-file.tar.bz2

Then cd to the directory that is created and read the INSTALL and README files for installation instuctions.
