Import bookmarks.etc to Mandrake

[travis4prez]

I finally quit Windows. (Sounds kinda like a bad habit) Dual booting was giving me heartburn so I dropped Windows and installed Mandrake 9.1 as my solo OS on my main comp.
Before I wiped all evidence of Windows existence from this comp, I saved my bookmarks to a drive on another comp. It is still running XP.
How do I get those into my new browser? Im using Mozilla.
I also saved all my docs and various other things I wanted to keep. I don't necessarily want to move them back to this machine but I would like to be able to access them easily. Is there a way to map that drive?

If the other comp is running windows,the easiest way would be copy that stuff to CD unless you have Gigs of stuff to move.You could setup samba but if you're not planning on keeping the two comps connected all the time,it wouldnt be worth it unless you want to try it as an exercise in Linux/windows networking.
The actual importing is just clicking Bookmarks>Manage Bookmarks>Tools>Import and browsing to the directory where they're kept.

OK. I figured out how to mount a network drive and I was able to move my bookmarks to this comp. Thanks for the tip lynch. The whole process was rather intiutive. Kinda "windowsy" which made that pretty easy.
I have many more questions though. I hope you're all patient with me. There is quite a steep learning curve at the beginning. With that said, request no. 1:
How do I keep those mounted drives mounted when I restart? I can see the drives I mounted prior to the most recent restart but can't see the files in those directories. Yes. There are gigs and gigs of files there.
no.2
I think I managed to get java support. Now how do I get Flash Player to install. I downloaded and think I untarred the file by hitting it with a phalanx of commands I have been able to find but I still can't seem to get it installed.
Any input is appreciated.
Thanks

Your welcome.

I just emailed myself with it, when I was dual booting.

Woo Hoo! Flash player now works. Thanks for the links. I'm going to be spending a lot of time there until I get this figured out.
