| 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 on 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?
otherwise it is running just fine!!!
thanks for any and all of you guys help......

| Dola, there's a great book called Linux Cookbook by O'Reilly Press.
It's fairly new but it gives terrific explanations on
how to Mount Devices, Rebuild the Kernel to accept more of your Devices
, How to configure your Video Card etc.
Unfortunately Linux RH 8.0 still leaves alot to be desired configuring
all your hardware. Some of the Newer Distros like
Fedora Core3, Mandrake 10.1, Suse9.2 do a much better job.
