'A Slave To The Drive To Obsession- A Spirit With A Vision, Is A Dream With A Mission' -Rush 'Mission' -Chris Rasputin http://www.angelfire.com/ne/rasputin1/Rasputin.html You don't. You have to use the drivers written for your hardware that are specific to Linux. For example, if you want to use your video card and monitor under Linux, you generally have to have XFree86 and an Xserver loaded on your machine. These are drivers written for the Linux enviroment by the open source community. If you look at your video card's manufacturer website, you'll notice that they generally say they only support Windows or maybe Macintosh computers. Hope that helps, Michael Holt [EMAIL PROTECTED] I guess what I meant was how much space does do I have-like the 'My Computer' icon for Windows. What I want to do is download a Linux friendly ISP, but I have to use Windows/AOL to do it and then transfer the file over to Linux and run it from there... How can I do this?

[newbie] new to Mandrake 7.0
Hello. I was able to divide up my hard drive and install Mandrake 7.0 and have it share some space with Windows '95...but I have some questions. 1. I am new to Linux, and have used Windows for about two years...what is the best way to go about and learn Linux? I bought the O'Reily book 'Running Linux,' and it has helped, but it is very advanced in some parts, and I was looking for something online to help me. 2. Also trying to get my Epson 600 printer and Iomega 250 zip drive to work...went to their sites and didn't see like a Linux driver for them...I though that is probably what they would need...am I right here? thanks, 'Smash Yr.
