many of these questions are asked a lot, please try using the search facilities. for example search for "vfat fstab" for the windows drive part.

I had rogue yellow snow ale, and it was good, but i wouldn't
eat it. if your windows is on ntfs, you can only read it in linux. i think mandrake would have set it up for you if you had fat32(vfat). |
you can read and write to ntfs , may need the ntfs module install,
open google and type ntfs rpm there is a guy that makes ntfs rpms, esay to install and works like charming. |
1st. For your modem, you're prob going to have to get a driver for linux. Identify your modem's device by viewing /proc/pci or /etc/sysconfig/hwconf. Then get the appro. driver and unpackage it. Continue with modem setup.
2nd. Your going to have to mount your NTFS partition on another part of the filesystem. I recommend creating the dir /windows, and then issuing the command: mount -t ntfs /dev/**windows partition file /windows. Then you can browse READ ONLY through your windows filesys |
