Newbie Question



Firstly let me say that I have never used Linux and I am learning as I go
along.

I have installed debian ver 1.2 on a second hard drive on my PC. I didn't
encounter any real problems during installation so I assume everything is OK.
Now I would like to install a GUI (fvwm) and I have downloaded a copy of
the same from the Web. I copied the file onto a floppy but I cannot access
my A:/ drive.

During startup I have established the following:

	hda1  is my DOS drive containing Win95
	hdb   is my CDROM
	hdc1  is my Linux Swap
	hdc2  is my Linux Native
	fd0   is my 1.44M Floppy

I used the command  "df" and all it shows is:

	/dev/hdc2

Why can I not see/access my other drives? Have I not done something? Any
help would be much appreciated.

Lastly, can anyone point me to a good Newbie FAQ?????

Thanks in advance
David
