First, I have dial up and a winmodem. I use Linuxant drivers to get it to work (works in Mandrake 10.1). So through Mandrake I downloaded the DEB packages for Ubuntu. When I switch to install it, it says there are problems. I try the "general" version and asks for Linux headers (which I cant have since I have dial up...). So I download the source code, and to my surprise Ubuntu doesnt install MAKE! So I cant build the code. So... can anyone point me where to get Make for Ubuntu? Cuz I have looked hard and hard and cant find it ANYWHERE on the web (through Mandrake).
Another thing, I set up FAT32 partitions (tru the GUI) and point them to folders. But the thing is when I reboot Ubuntu the partition pointers (like /mnt/windows) are GONE. Anyone know a way to get them to stay? OH! And I cant ever CHMOD them to 777....

So... please help!
Follow these instructions: http://www.ubuntuguide.org/#automountfat
It assumes your FAT32 partition is /dev/hda1. To find out what it really is, type this in the terminal
Ok, I got the FAT32 partitions working perfectly! Thanks! But I must remind you, Linuxant is a driver-loader for a Conexant WINMODEM. So, I cannot run apt-get without connecting to the internet, and the linuxant driver is just for that. So, where could I get a TAR file or DEB file or any kind of file, with all the sutff the Build Essential file includes, like GCC and others, because I tried downloading each one, but it's too unorganized and problematic. HELP! =)
