Ok, I'm a total linux n00b. I admit it. I've just recently installed Redhat 8.0 on a dual boot with Windows ME (ick, I know. Gimme XP any day!). Everything so far has installed fine, I've got X, Gnome, and KDE installed, plus a plethora of other programs/tools. I have a few problems though -- and I honestly wouldn't ask here if I hadn't been driven insane by my recent googling attempts.
First, I can't seem to install my ethernet card. It's an Accton EN1207D PCI Fast Ethernet card. Unfortunately, the network wizard doesn't seem to have any accton products in the list of drivers.
So... where can I get drivers for the accton, and, more importantly, how do I install them? I've managed to download a zip file (windows) with a ton of accton drivers in it, but none seem to be linux specifically. I suppose I could fool around with the files, if I only knew how to install them.
Part two is sort of related... those drivers would be stored on my windows partition. How can I mount my windows drive? Is there a way to always mount it and specify where it's mounted?
Finally (for now), a basic question. I need mouse pointer acceleration! It really sucks having to lift my mouse 5 times to move the pointer across the screen. I've been through tons of control panels while logged in to both gnome and kde and can't seem to find any way to speed up my pointer. What gives? How do I take care of this very basic GUI function?
Thanks in advance for the help.
