Hi

Totally new to Linux so please be gentle.

I have installed Mandrake on a computer. I did
a clean install, fully removing Windows from the 
machine. All went well and is running fine however
I have just two simple questions.

I am running Gnome and when I stick in a CD in
the drive with files that are from a CD-R disk that
I created on another machine, whilst it sees the
files it won`t let me copy them by drag and drop.
I get a pencil with a no entry sign and then zero transfer.
If I open the file in a paint application I can then
save. Is this to do with permissions on the machine.
I am operating as a user... 

2nd question.. Having installed I decided to put a
network card in the machine. This was auto detected
at boot but when it asked if I should allow the machine
to autodetect it then went to a black screen and died
completely, nothing. I had to reset and then got the 
hard drive checker running. Don`t wan`t to do that
too often. Any ideas. I didn`t have the machine actually
networked at the time, just the card installed. Could
be a faulty card.

Anyway hopefully someone can help.

At last Linux... I am so pleased.
