I've never heard of 'cpp' being pronounced 'cpp0' before :). Ever cince I
started using linux, the c preprocessor has always been 'cpp'. I suggest
maybe some links have been broken, assuming of course you've installed the
compiler and devel stuff (you did that, right?) :).

Mandrake is a bit convoluted in this, but check /etc/alternatives. There
are some links (cpp, gcc, etc) that point to the desired version of things.
'cpp' is typically in /usr/bin, but many places make a symlink over to
/lib/cpp or some other place, and the 'real' cpp is buried underneath
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/gcc-<version>/cpp.

I see. Probably not, cpp is integral to the rest of the C system.

For a non-build-it yourself solution, there shouldl be a memory testing
floppy image of 'memtest' on your Mandrake boot CD. Look in the
images directory. You can copy the imagte over to a blank 3.5" floppy, 
boot from that, and run your tests.
