Try to get either a Mandrake or a RedHat rpm, as the config files and whatnot
will be in the same places. I have never had a problem with using a rpm for
either of those distro's. Personally, I have never been able to get a Suse
built rpm to work under Mandrake. If something other than mdk or redhat is all
that is available, try getting the src rpm and rebuilding.

noarch means that no special architecture is needed, the rpm is possibly
something like a python or perl script or some sort of documentation.
