My other data is on a 30 gig windows drive. They are both in the same
laptop. There is a 5 gig PCMCIA HDD as well. Lindows sees the 5 gig but not
the windows HDD at all. I will try the desktop icon adding to day. But I
still have no idea how to add the modem when I get the driver. Are the
drivers the same as windows? If so, how do I install them?

As for the "linspire" [lindows] web site, so far likr tits on a bull.
Something to look at but useless.
