Is there a down-and-not-so-dirty way to build the module for my kernel without taking several college programming courses?

Thanks Christopher. I will keep this file as there seems to be several other things of value also. As an additional followup I found that the module I tried to compile with make and the Makefile for Mandrake actually seems to be working: can mount the disks with it and read info already there, and copy it. Failure during installation attempts came because the module was compiled against athlon kernel and installation kernel was default...I got it to load by using "--force" when asked for parameters. Which reminds me, I hope no one else is taking pointers from this as I did not complete the new installation...wanted to insure complete backup first.... I will revert to the directions in the article you have referenced to be more certain and correct. Thanks again. Richard
