Thanx, Greg. that seems to work. For a GUI O/S, there are a lot of things that are certainly not obvious to the casual user. --doug On Tuesday 01 June 2004 08:06, Greg Engel wrote:

The standard install of 9.1 gave me a window called "My Computer"--instantly renamed to "This Computer"-- on which my Windows drive (a separate h/d) appears, and I can get a menu of everything on the drive in GUI format, just like Windows. I sure wish I could get that same output in Linux! But you can't put the Linux drive in "My Computer" and you can only get your user directory from the GUI. Phooey!
Maybe I misunderstand, but the GUI is Konqueror. If I want the main drive I just type file:/ in the address line, or click my home drive, and click the up arrow until I am at the root.
