Answer 1

I've never used mandriva, but I'll see what I can do. First you're missing flash, which you can get from link 1 below.

Second, you probably need to install your graphics drivers. This can be complicated, so I recommend you google how to do that for a mandriva system.

ARC I think is Mandriva file archiver (think 7z from Windows or Archive Manager from Ubuntu). So it's probably a tar.gz file. If you extract that and then compile it, it should run. Totem is an audio codec, don't worry about it. You should update your java. 1.6.30 is the latest version (I think, or at least it was a few weeks ago).

I'm not sure if there's an auto update system for Mandriva, but you might want to start there.

If your going to use Linux you need to keep up with what's going on. For a start Mandriver is 12 plus months out of date, It has not been up dated in over 12 months, Mageia is now the new Mandriva
