You don't have to read the blog. You only need the tarball. How you download it is described under "Preparations".
it is also described step-by-step how you unpack the tarball and what you will do with the files which are in the tarball.
Of course, you have to check if these files work with the current Mageia. This was written for Mandriva 2010.1/2
I only said that this howto describes one way to do it. Unfortunatly I don't have the time (and honestly: not enough interest in this topic) to check for myself. if it does not suit your way, no problem.
