Nope. It won't run on Linux. You shouldn't need it at all. Just make sure you put in the other info I mentioned, and you should be fine. The floopy just contains the same info you have to put in manually,...Gateway and DNS. But of course, Microsoft thinks we're idiots, so that floppy contains a "Wizard" to transpose the info. Think of it as ICS for Dummies who only use Windows. Obviously, you don't (just use Windows, that is). Once the gateway and DNS are set on the linux box, the most you'll have to do is restart, but it shouldn't be necessary. Just run the network wizard in Mandrake Control center, and it will restart your network connection to the Windows box on it's own. Have fun!
