Well, if you had installed Mandrake, it would have asked during installation
if you wanted to see your Windows partition, and if you said 'yes', it would
install an icon on the desktop. After the fact, using KDE, you can always right
click on the desktop, and choose Create New/Device/Hard Disk Device, and
select /dev/hda1 from the pull-down menu. Can't say how you do this in Gnome-
I don't use Gnome.

Again, if you had installed Mandrake, it would have asked which desktop you
wanted to boot into by default. Try shutting down Gnome, and see if it gives
you an option to restart with another windowmanager.

No, I never use it, because you can easily associate *.exu programs with
the exu binary- same as you would associated *.exw programs with exw.exe on
Windows.
At least, it's that easy with KDE.

Kate, of course. Be aware that Kate doesn't always get installed by default,
but it is almost always on the CD's. You may have to go back and install it
later.

You need a real modem. Why tie up that expensive 32-bit processor's time
whistliing into a phone line?

Again, for most printers, Mandrake finds and sets them up automatically.
I'd like to be able to give you more help here, but I have tried Red Hat
a few times in the past, and always found Mandrake to be much easier.
All versions of Linux *run* pretty much the same, but there is a huge
difference in the installer programs. Some will be familiar and friendly
to the Windows user, others only useful if you really know what you're
doing.
