Hi, For network problem, as root type the following in a terminal window: ifconfig It should give details for eth0 (your network card) and lo (loopback) devices. If not give us some more info. For floppy disk: mount /mnt/floppy - to mount the floppy disk umount /mnt/floppy - to unmount it. To access windows partition: mkdir /mnt/windows mount /dev/<windows_partition> /mnt/windows Remember to change <windows_partition> to suit your system. -- John Morrison SNS Group 15 Fitzroy Place Glasgow.
