Why me? What a hoot! We've all been there. It's not you, it's part
of learning Linux. If you'll go to linux-mandrake, click on lists
and select the newbie archive you'll find a bunch of 'how to mount
your floppy' posts within the last couple of weeks. You'll also find
a bunch of ATI RAGE related stuff. It's a real good resource,
try it. (And you'll see that you are not alone) :-)
Good luck
