I just put PhatLinux onto my computer. Thank god that it pretty much installed itself and works on the windows partition. Anyway I havent touched anything in it yet as far as files and the such. How do I set it up so it recognizes my CD and Cable Modem because when ever I want help I have to shutdown then boot up windows go online then shutdown and boot up Linux again. PAIN IN MY ***!! anyway what do i do? what are the normal things to do to "set up" linux? I am such a newb so remember that!!!

Don't know diddly about cable modems; however; the CDRom normaly just requires knowing which drive/type it is. If its scsi then as long as the kernel has the proper scsi settings enabled then you should be able to put in a cd and type
mount -t iso9660 /dev/sdx /mnt/cdrom
x is a letter representing the cd drive i.e. a, b, c... and /mnt/cdrom is a directory you should creat if it does not exist. If the drive happens to be IDE type then the command would look something like this
mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdx /mnt/cdrom
Once again the same applies to x & /mnt/cdrom

hmm... go to start menu , then to configuration, then find linuxconf program. then get into it and networking and host/ip and click the box that says enable DHCP

you can also just hit alt + F2 , or just open the run box from the menu and enter linuxconf to get in
