as you are using Mandrake you could get an rpm - I think Gopal has built
rpm packages .

when building from source I am using the cvs version, in which case the
driectory structure is implicitly given by repo: 

cvs -d:pserver:address@hidden:/cvsroot/dotgnu-pnet cvs
login 
[just press enter here] 
cvs -z3 co treecc pnetlib pnet 

treecc is an aspect oriented (tree) compiler compiler, which Rhys has
developed. 
pnet is the VM 
pnetlib are the core libraries 

I think: install treecc first, then pnet and then pnetlib 
(all through ./configure ; make; make install )

cscc is the c# compiler 
ilrun is the il bytecode executer 

for instance 
cd pnet/samples 
cscc -o fib.exe fib.cs 
ilrun fib.exe
