New at Ubuntu 5.10

[Yudhistira]

Hi everybody.
I am new at ubuntu linux. I have experience with mdk and suse.
But I am still a newbie.
Ubuntu seems quick and reconizes easiy the audio devices.

But I have some doubts about something:
1. I have adsl wireless (router us robotics) . Which are the paramters I
have to fill in for the browser and for evolution?
2. I have some email archive made by kmail and outlook. Is evolution good at
tranlating all those differents archive in a comon format?
3. I cannot see the fat32 partitions where are windows and the data. In suse
i could see them under 'media', and in mdlk I could see them under 'mnt'.
How does ubuntu work?
How can I do if i cannot see the fat32 partitions?

Grazie
Ciao a tutti

I do not know the answer to questions 1 and 2, but for your fat32
problem have a look at the ubuntu starter guide, and especially the part
about mounting windows partitions.

Furthermore, you can have a look under system->management->disks (or
something like that, i'm not running the english version of ubuntu).

Good luck,
Mathieu

More info necessary.

You are looking for an mbox conversion utility. I am not sure if one
exists for the clients you mention but google might know.
