[Courses] learning fedora

[Narelle]

ooh, it's been a while since I properly
unixed... too many years in mgmt...

apologies if this is the wrong list, but I
was after some sympathetic help :-)

I've recently reinstalled (with some help I
have to admit) a linux box at home. Lovely
firewall, gets the kids off msn and onto
their homework (and I can log any prowling
creeps), but I can't figure out the use of
floppies or samba between the M$ boxes.

How do I read files locally on the home LAN
or on the sneakernet floppy I just shoved
into the linux box's drive?

It should be running okay, it should just be
a matter of restarting it or setting permissions?

I thought ls /dev/fd0 would work...
or floppy <something>

again, apologies if this is the wrong list,
but I was after some sympathetic help :-)
just direct me hence and I'll go whither I'm
sent :-)

answers gratefully accepted
