Newbie - Ubuntu assistance required
Hi all,

I've just installed Ubuntu 6.06 and need to know how to get connected to the internet using AOL.

Also if anyone would be kind enough to lend me their time on other issues I need to make my enjoyment of this new OS all the more better!!
Thanks

AOL's software has proprietary support, so there's not much option for Linux users.(Thanks AOL, for your consideration)

Best I can find for you is this: PengAOL

Best of luck.

Problem - When I'm in Ubuntu OS, I can't access the hard drives. It tells me that they aren't mounted and when I try to mount them, it won't let me!!

HELP!!!

You can't mount which hard drives? Tell us what you've got. Can you open a terminal and type in
sudo cat /etc/fstab
and copy that into a post? Also
sudo fdisk -l
