Hey gang: Just upgraded to 7.0. Also updated my Windoze box to Windows 2000 (don't ask me why...) Is there any way to mount the Windooohhhs volume in Linux now? It worked before I upgraded (of course) but the NTFS needs something special...I'm sure. Any ideas? Karekin

ntium 233 mHz. Is that technically a 586? I'm not sure whether to tell it that or Pentium. My Linux book says to check 586 but I'm not sure why. Yes! A Pentium is a 586-class processor. I think Technically a Pentium is a 586, a Pentium Pro is a 686, a PII would be a 786, and a PIII would be an 886

I would like to install Mandrake 5.3 on a Toshiba Tecra notebook that is currently running Win98 on a FAT32 HD. I would actually like to remove Win98 and install only Mandrake. How can I do so? Thanks in advance for all your help. - [EMAIL PROTECTED]
