Very Computer

Hello... Window$ user of 5 years finally made to move from uncle Bills
Os to Linux.
Amazing, but confusing!
I need to know:
can I read my DOS partition in Linux/xwindow
how do I connect to the net in Linux/xwindow
where the hell do I get KDE from?
I have seen the screen shots and it looks amazing but because I'm new to
all this I can't understand what I need to download.
Because I don't have a clue what I'm doing I'll probably need help
installing KDE.

So could you either mail me with help (no flaming please! I'm new!) or
tell me where I can get some easy to understand FAQs.

Thankyou,
MP

Yep.

Using f.ex. the Internet Dialer delivered with KDE (kppp).

From http://www.kde.org/.

Read the installation guide on the website.

Jens Kristian S?gaard,

something like mount -t vfat /dev/hda2 /mnt/dospart

where /dev/hda2 is your dos partition in linuxspeak and /mnt/dospart is a
blank directory set up by you before you do the mount command. You can set
up this drive to be available every time by usung linuxconf
