Im new to linux

[Wilki29]

Are there any sites on how to mount wireless adapters, and how to boot .exe files, etc. I need to mount my wireless adapter, as well as boot up from my windows cd so I can use dual boot. For some reason I cant boot from the cd right off the bat. Any help on any of these issues would be awsome

wine can allow you to run some .exes under linux, but if you can, youd be better off finding linux equivalents for the programs you want to run (googling will bring up a pretty extensive list)

wireless adapters can be a whole other issue. more details on what distro and equipment youre using would help, as well as what youve already tried. if you havent tried anything, google for your adapter and linux support and see if there are any discussions about it already that may help you get it working
