I was wondering 3 things,

 

1. I am using an Alcatel speedtouch usb Adsl modem, this machine, the one running linux and windows, i want to be a gateway for the other machine in this house (Winxp), now, i was wondering if anyone could help in maybe telling me where i could get the drivers, or how to install them, or how to configure anything related, i am with Internode (Isp).

 

2. - Answered this silly easy mount question by myself :)

 

3. How would i go about getting this machine in its linux state able to access the other machine, (Winxp) over the LAN. for sharing of files/internet/etc.

 

 

Thanks in Advance, and if you could state which question your answering when/if you do it would be muchly appreciated, note: i have never in my life used linux or unix or anything but windows before, so keep in mind that i wont know alot/any commands, so dont expect me to know what to do in some parts, once again, thanks in advance and sorry to be... umm... so noobish etc.

Is it possible to access a shared area folder on windows XP from linux?

I have accessed my windows xp internet connection thru fedora by networking the machines.

 

all went fine but for some reason i can only access certain websites!!

 

google, hotmail, msn are fine, most others i tried wont connect and just stays saying waiting for ****.com

 

i also cant use apt-get update, it stays on 0%.

 

My head hurts!!!

cmon tell the world what DM you use

 

i use gnome mostly but like fluxbox and XPde,

 

cheers

you can get it yourself at [/url][url=http://www.xpde.com]http://www.xpde.com

 

quite a nice 'xp' lookalike theme for linux, but seems to be a bit buggy

 

what do you think ?

 

cheers

Hi All,

 

I have WinXP on hda2, and finished installing Fedora (& grub) on hda3. I choose to have grub install on hda3, and not the mbr, so I can use the WinXP bootloader to boot Fedora too.

 

Well, after installing and rebooting my new installation, I obviously cannot figure out how to access my new installation. o_O What I want to do is to boot into Fedora, pull the bootsector off into a file, and then copy that to a floppy disk. Then I can use that bootsector file to boot my installation with the WinXP bootloader. :)

 

How do I boot into my new installation now? Can I use the install CD-ROM to boot it?

 

TIA,

 

Scott

okay this is complicated.

 

I have a laptop with windows xp, aol broadband and a usb adsl modem.

thanks to all who may help!!!

How do you add an application, or at least a link to the gnome menu.

"error adding *** to menu. Unsupported operation"

 

Help anyone??

How do I grant myelf full access to the system without actually logging in as root??

Hey,

 

i have this evening installed fedora core 1. i have attempted to install mp3 support to no avail. when trying to load an mp3, the system crashes and the only activity is that the scroll lock and caps lock lights keep flashing.

thanks in advance.

 

i will keep trying even though it is beating me at the moment.
