Here I was trying to look up how to best format a new partition so that I can share data between Linux and Windows, when I look up the /windows folder and there it is! The whole Windows partition mounted and ready to be navigated! That's progress! In retrospect I remember seeing some mention of creating a mount-point named 'windows' when I was installing from the CD but who pays that much attention.. :D
I still had to mess around to get the Wireless connection working though. I have a broadcom modem and SUSE had to download some files from repositories online. It was a vicious circle - I had to go online to go online! So:
- I looked up the script
- found out what files were needed to install the broadcom firmware
- downloaded them manually in Windows
- copied it to a USB flash drive
- copied from the flash drive to Linux partition (after rebooting of course)
- and then made the script point to these files instead of the URL.
Phew! That worked though. It had, of course, to be followed by the usual:
ifconfig wlan0 up
/etc/init.d/network restart
