There's a mandrake packaging tool that's pretty good- BJ?
Yes the packaging tool to use is rpmdrake aka the Mandrake Software Manager. As rpm (Red Hat Package Manager the package managment system used in Mandrake) front ends go its pretty good in that it checks dependances for you.
I'm presuming (dangerous that) you are using the default GUI which is KDE, you get to it with Kmenu|Configuration|Packaging|Software Manager. It will need the root password to function if you are logged on as a user. Logging on as root is a bad idea unless you really need to (can very dangerous if you are not sure what you are doing).
HTH.
