Hi.
Can anybody suggest which would be the best e-mail utility to use in Suse,
in a text-only system. I can probably second-guess the answer to this next
question, but what about an Internet web browser? Finally, is their an FTP
server with Suse that is installed in the default system, or one which I
can find in the packages? Next, is there a way I can mount a FAT32 Windows
partition, to make it visible to Linux? and finally, I need to map the
drives on my Linux box from my Window-based machine. What's the easiest
way of doing all this? Thanks in advance.
Kind regards, Gordon Smith.

I'm useing pine, but there is also elm, mutt etc. Take a look into serie N on the SusE-cdroms, there are several mailclients. I can probably second-guess the answer to this next

There are several webbrowsers too. For example lynx, links or w3m are working fine. Finally, is their an FTP
server with Suse that is installed in the default system, or one which I can find in the packages?
There are also several ftp-servers and clients. See also serie n on the cdroms. Next, is there a way I can mount a FAT32 Windows
partition, to make it visible to Linux?
Yes, the following command should work: mount /dev/[fat32-partition] [mountpoint] -t vfat Take a look into /etc/fstab, there are all partitions and there mountpoints listed that you can mount (SusE detects this during installation). For more infos see man fstab and finally, I need to map the
drives on my Linux box from my Window-based machine. What's the easiest way of doing all this?
Setup samba on your linuxbox, that works fine. I can help you with the
installation if your configuration is not to heavy.
Best regards,
