Well, first you have to open a terminal window and type su to log on as
root.

I don't have Mandrake running right now (I don't have my password cookie
saved there so I had to log onto Windows and post from here).  To open a
terminal window, click on the icon in the bottom left hand corner.  Click
on the topmost selection (don't remember what it is called, "Applications",
maybe?).  Click on terminal (near the bottom of this drop-down, I think).
