1/ If the card was inserted while you were installing Mandrake then it should have been auto-detected. Run the Network GUI in Mandrake Control Centre to configure it. If it has not autodetected the card, then ensure that the package pcmcia-cs is installed (using your software install GUI) When your computer starts with a pcmcia card inserted you should hear two 'beeps' of different tone when the pcmcia card is detected. If you do not hear those, then come back and we can offer more advice. 2/ The package mozilla-firefox can be added using the Software Install GUI in your Mandrake Control Centre (Menu>System>Configuration>ConfigureyourComputer) It will take about a minute for the menu item for firefox to appear in your menu list. derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
