Hi All,

I'm a newbie to Linux and chose Mandrake 9.0. My Mandrake installation puts
libpython in /usr/lib.

I want to download the Python 2.2 tarball. Should I download it to /usr/bin
and run ./configure and make install from /usr/bin? Any suggestions will be
greatly appreciated.. including whether I must change or add any environment
variables in profile or bashrc.

Thanks,
Lance
