That's supposed to be an equivalent to network neighborhood under W$. You can mount NTFS for reading safely and easily, but writing is experimental and probably foolish. To mount for reading (as root): mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/windog This assumes that your NTFS partition is the first on the first drive and that you have created /mnt/windog using a command like: mkdir /mnt/windog HTH Brian Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

RE: [newbie] Setting Up Modems, Printers, and a Home Network (NFS vrs SMB)
I have used smb to connect two linux boxes together without problem... which brings me to a question: apart from permissions and such, what benefit is there in using NFS over SMB I have had SMB shares mounted when a system went down and it hasn't caused any major hassles.. but I have heard alot of stories about that not being the case with NFS...

I don't need to know every package, but what is the bulk of the cd's taken up with? Is it things that a newbie like me would have need of? I can't decide if I need the 7 cd version or the standard. I'm on a dialup, so if the xtra cd's will provide packages that I may use, it would be worth the $'s to get them on cd, rather than enduring long downloads. Also, is the user manual in the powerpack the same as what is provided in the installed documentation from Mdk? Help please. TIA. --Angus This is the Earth School..always in session.

Re: [newbie] burning ISOs
I see that your Dell Inspiron 7500 either has a CD-ROM/Floppy Drive or DVD-ROM/Floppy Dive unit in the Media Bay. Assuming that I understand correctly: 1) your CD-ROM (or DVD-ROM) drive is able to read commercially produced CDs flawlessly; 2) you aren't specifically speaking of being able to boot off those CD-Rs when you say not readable; 3) and you can read CD-Rs produced on other than your Linux PC --- It sounds like the problem lies exclusively in your Dell. Older CD-ROMs could not read the surfaces of CD-Rs due to the lighter burn temp and impressions made with a CD-R drive. That was pre-12X days. I have a 24X Toshiba that will sit there and churn for the better part of a minute trying to make sense of a CD-R, then quit. It would be an unexpected surprise for a modern laptop to have a CD-ROM drive (I won't even entertain a DVD-ROM drive incapable of seeing a CD-R!) that was blind in this area. I think the key to understanding what's happening is in having you better define what it is that your Dell's ROM drive *can* and *cannot do*. If you can say that you have tried burns off of other PCs (owned or unowned), and commercial CDs, too, and they all work in your Dell, PLUS...the burns off your Linux box are readable in other PCs (non-Linux ones, too)...as a professional troubleshooter, I would start to look at your Dell as the sole source of the problem. If your laptop is still under warranty, call Dell and ask them if there is a known issue with the particular combo drive that you have on your computer. Check their support site (http://support.dell.com/), login with your account (if you have one), create one, or use your computers Service Tag number to get to the info specific to your machine. Then look in the downloads area for patches or driver upgrades. You could have an earlier production combo unit with a sensitivity to CD-Rs produced by certain CD-RWs, or its plain buggy and needs a TLC patch. :-) Please remember that all this I have said here is under the assumption that you are only speaking about the inability to *read* any CDs on your Dell laptop that were burned exclusively on your Linux box.

[newbie] more newbie questions
Thanks to those who helped answer my previous questions, and now I have some more. I'm planning on doing a fresh install of Mandrake 9.0. Before doing so, I'd like to know how I should partition my 15 gig hard drive. I'd like to run both a small web server and an ftp server for friends' to anonymously access. Does this have any affect on how I should partition my hd? Can anyone suggest partitions and sizes? Also, I have a second 40 gig hard drive slaved to the 15 gig hd, but the slave hd is not being detected afaik. Any suggestions on how to get linux to detect it and where it would be mounted? I think it's already been formatted fat32 but I am not sure. Finally, I am having a few problems with my HP 7200e cd writer. I loaded the paride, epat, and pg modules before without incident, but after rebooting, whenever I load them with insmod paride, etc. I get /lib/modules/2.4.8-mdk/kernel/drivers/block/paride/paride.o.gz unresolved symbol parport_put_port_R4ed54fe2 type error messages.
