Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

This doesn't look like windows. Please help, TOTAL Newbie alert.
Right, i installed fedore apple core 30 last night for the first time ever.
i can't see any of my normal files. I've got one hard drive with my windows on the other has linux.
when i made a bootable cd, and booted into something called knoppix i could see all my lovely windows stuff.
why can't i see any of this when i boot from the linux installed on my 2nd hdd. well actually i have 3 hdd's but the third is used for crap so that doesn't count.
Anyhow, this i am sure is laughable to many. but i have to ask.
Also trying to install linksys wmp54g card using ndiswrapper or something.
that should be a laugh. I've literally no clue.
Anyone wanting to flame me or whatever, help yourself!
You'll need to add a line to your /etc/fstab file. For this I'm going to assume that your windows partition is the first partition on the first drive. If not, you'll have to change some numbers:
First type this into a console:
Code:
mkdir /mnt/win_c
Makes a directory on which to attach the windows drive (because linux uses one big tree for all filesystem)
Then add this line to the bottom of your /etc/fstab file:
Code:
/dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c vfat users,user,auto 0 0
Both these bits will need to be done as root. I'm also assuming that your windows drive is fat32.
