I am running Mandriva 2007 PowerPack and I downloaded the Linux Drivers from www.atitach.ca (I don't want to install the drivers that came with the OS DVD or Mesa) and I did the Package Install option as shown here:
[root@localhost therealjohn1]# sh ./ati-driver-installer-8.28.8.run --listpkg
Creating directory fglrx-install
Verifying archive integrity... All good.

For example, to build a Debian Etch package, run the following:
% ./ati-driver-installer-<version>-<architecture>.run --buildpkg Debian/etch
Removing temporary directory: fglrx-install
So then I ran the command:
[root@localhost therealjohn1]# sh ./ati-driver-installer-8.28.8.run --buildpkg Mandriva/2007
Creating directory fglrx-install
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
