I would very much recommend against changing to Mandrake after SuSE. I have 
always used SuSE, but then for reasons that escape me now moved a system to 
Mandrake and was completely confused by the way things were different. Stick 
to what you know, in my opinion.
Are there no 6.4 rpm's?

Oh, and I think that the new autoconf is just prefered, not sure if it's 
needed...
