| I have installed 8.0 sucessfully, i am a new linux user so pardon the
stupid questions. i loaded it on a amd 1.2 ghz board that had win2000
pro om it with dual monitors 3 hard drives 2 cdroms and several usb
devices. here are my problems:
1. i cant find my other drives d: e:, the cdroms show up but only the
boot ide device shows. how do you change from one drive to another and
explore your disk drives in linux?
2. i am on a p2p home network of 6 workstations, none can see the linux
machine. and linux cannot see the network, however it shares the
internet connectivity with no problem. where is the network niehborhood
in lunux?
3. how do i get linux to see my other video card?
4. how do i get linux to see all my usb devices?

You don't want to use Red Hat Linux 8!
Why? Simply because no security updates are available for it any long
since quite some time. And a fair part of your problems will go away if
you choose a current system like Fedora Core 3 (which is the follower of
the Red Hat Linux product line). It is for free: http://fedora.redhat.com.
