I am running Linux slackware 3.4, NT, Win98 and DOS on the same computer
with partition Magic. I am new to Linux. I can download Netscape or
Explorer for Linux with NT or 98. I can also download a dialer for Linux
but can't use them if I cannot transfer them from fat32 or fat 16 to a
linux partition.

How do I transfer from fat to Linux?

If I cannot...

Then I need to use a com program, telix, ect. to log into the BBS or the
ISP network to get the software downloaded to the Linx partition, from
within Linux.

What is the easiest way to get on the net with Linux? Linux comes with
some crude com dailups.

thanks, Bruce

Well there definetly is a linux version of netscape, but there is no
Linux version of Exporer, nor is it likely that there will ever be.
There is a Solaris version, that may be what you have encountered. To
read the fat 16 or 32 partition, use the command "mount /dev/hd?? /mnt/"
to mount the partition on /mnt, were hd?? is the partition you want to
read. Depending on what kernel you have, and what options have
installed, you might have some problems with fat32, but fat16 should go
pretty well.
