I run Mandrake 7.2 at home, and usually have no problems installing
Redhat rpms. I've noticed a few differences in file placement, but
nothing that I would call a show-stopper. One thing to keep in mind is
that mdk rpms are i586 optimized and may not work correctly on a 486,
and will not work at all on a 386.
I believe that with 7.2, Mandrake has started using the modules.conf
instead of conf.modules as well...
So, in answer to the original question, Mandrake rpms should by and
large work on Redhat systems and vice-versa, at least in my experience.
HTH,
