How in the world do I get my earthlink account to work in Linux??Thanx,
Frost.
Whats gonna be the best way to do this??
Currently I am running Win98SE on my C partition which is 13.9 gigs. I am using a little over 4.5gigs of it. I still have about 1gig of games that I want to install on here, so I figure my C partition is going to have to be 6gigs at the least. I will probably make it 7. I store the 1.5gigs of Mp3s that I have on this partition as well. My D partition is a little over 2 gigs. It is my burn partition. My whole hard-dive is 17.2gigs, but with fileings systems it is more like 16gigs. What I want to do is install Windows2000 server (120 day version) and Linux Mandrake 7.1, along with Win98 SE. I have spent a few hours and backed up ALL of my stuff, so formatting, fdisk, whatever I have to do isn't a problem. I want to do a tri-boot system. I guess I just need about a gig or 2 of extra space each for my linux and Windows2000 partitions for programs/saved stuffs. Unless I can game in Linux faster than in Windows I don't think I am gonna do that. If I save all my MP3s on my fat32 partition then Linux and Win2000 will both be able to see and play them still right? So I won't have to be wasting 3 gigs to store them on all 3 partitions instead of just one. Also I am still gonna need to have a burn partition. If I make it Fat32 will Win2000 also be able to use it as a burn partition if I decide to make a few cds from Win2k? Last question! How in the world do I get my earthlink account to work in Linux??
Thanx,
Frost.

just a suggestion
Just a suggestion.Go with Mandrake 7.2 instead of 7.1.It's got KDE2 and some other improvements.
As for Earthlink you should be able to set it up in Linux using your username,password,DNS server and e-mail information.If your new to linux a great place to start is http://www.linuxnewbie.orgRead some of their NHF's for alot of useful info.

Yeah you can update it but its better to do a fresh install.Just when you install dont format your /home dir and your prefs should remain untouched(i know this is true re-installing the same version you had but not sure about going from one version to another).
