connecting internet in command line
aoa
welcome to the world of linux !
i request u to pls search before posting as we had been posting the same things agian and again..never mind.....we had been doing and wil be doing again and again....np
to access fat u need to mount the partition on the directory
use the command fdisk -l to see the partition table...(info of ur partitions)
make directory by mkdir dirname
mount /dev/hd?# /dirname
? =a,b,c, or d a=primary master b=primary slave c=sec master d=sec slave
# is ur partition # on ur hd
2. to use internet from command line basically SHELL
u need to edit the /etc/wvdial.conf file and set stupiod mode=yes dont remember
kppp is recomended to connect internet...(keep in mind ur modem is configured well)
for shell browsing use lynx www.yahoo.com but it dont makes any difffernce in speed of browsing..
3.to share resourses pls read detail post about samba server configuration
4. best to study is the hard book....i prefer books over ebooks....just buy any good nook easily available

To MOunt Fat/Fat32 Partitions in Linux:
ts very simple.
in terminal give the command fdisk -l
It will show all the partitions and their hda numbers.
Note the hda number of the fat32 drive u want to access in linux.
Then create a mount point in /mnt directory by issuing this command in terminal:
mkdir /mnt/windrive
or any dir of your choice
Then issue this command to mount the drive:
mount -t vfat /dev/HDANUMBER /mnt/windrive
e.g
mount -t vfat /dev/hda6 /mnt/winfdrive
Then browse to /mnt/windrive through terminal or the gui to access the drive.
Note: You kernel must have support for mounting fat/fat32 partitions.
By default most kernels on most distros have that support.
If you kernel does not have that support, you may need to recompile it to include that support.
To automatically mount partitions at boot time edit /etc/fstab and include the appropriate info like hdanumber and mount point of the partition which you want to be automatically mounted.
To connect to the internet
You can connect to the internet through many different types of connections.
Do u intend to use a dialup internet connection using modem and POint to point protocol (PPP) or do u want to access internet through an ethernet based connection like a desi cable net system?
And why do u want to accesss the net from command line...why not from the GUi IN X?
To access the net using dialup. u frist of all need to make sure tha PPP and your modem are set up and installed correctly in linux.
Then u can use a PPP connection tool like redhat-config-network (gui based in redhat)) or u can use kppp to connect to the internet.
KPPP is much better and is recommended.
TO browse the internet, you ofcourse need a good webbrowser.
Some good console based web browsers are lynx.
Some good gui based browsers are Opera 7.11 for linux or mozilla.
To set up yout network shares
first of all u need to set up your ethernet lan connection properly.For that first make sure that your ethernet card is installed, configured and working properly.
u use the samba server part to share stuff on your linux box....for windows clients to access....and u use samba client part to access shares stored on windows servers/boxes
To mount/access shares stored on windows machines, use the smbmount command.
Do a smbmount --help command in terminal for more info.
Linux Resources
There are excellent ebooks and magz available on linux on the internet for free.
Also there are print magazines and print books...but the print versions, they ofcourse are not free.
