Question help with network drives and such
I am in my second semester of my IT major and have recently set up a dual boot computer running XP pro and openSuSE 10.2. I am 100% New to unix/linux. Here is what I am looking to do:

1.) CompSci, and IT students are allowed to map to a network drive from their computers. I have done so on Windows. How can I map to that drive on linux as well? I see a lot about samba, but no specific directions anywhere on how to make it happen.

2.)Make my linux partition readable by my XP account (maybe samba, if so how exactly?).

Thanks in advance for your help!

aic

AIC(4)							 BSD/i386 Kernel Interfaces Manual						    AIC(4)

NAME

     aic -- Adaptec AIC-6260 and AIC-6360 SCSI driver

SYNOPSIS

     device aic

     In /boot/device.hints:
     hint.aic.0.at="isa"

DESCRIPTION

     The aic driver provides support for the Adaptec AIC-6260 and AIC-6360 SCSI controller chips.  Many systems that use these controller chips do
     not have a boot ROM and therefore cannot be booted from.

HARDWARE

     The adapters supported by the aic driver include:

     o	 Adaptec AHA-1505 (ISA)
     o	 Adaptec AHA-1510A, AHA-1510B (ISA)
     o	 Adaptec AHA-1520A, AHA-1520B (ISA)
     o	 Adaptec AHA-1522A, AHA-1522B (ISA)
     o	 Adaptec AHA-1535 (ISA)
     o	 Creative Labs SoundBlaster SCSI host adapter (ISA)
     o	 Adaptec AHA-1460, AHA-1460B, AHA-1460C, AHA-1460D (PC Card)
     o	 Adaptec AHA-1030B, AHA-1030P (PC98)
     o	 NEC PC-9801-100 (PC98)

SEE ALSO

     aha(4), ahb(4), ahc(4), cd(4), ch(4), da(4), intro(4), sa(4)

BUGS

     The driver does not work well with multiple devices on the SCSI bus.  The driver works well with devices like CDROMs and Tape drives.  The
     driver works not so well with disk drives.  The PC Card version appears to work better than the ISA version, but that may be due to differing
     levels of testing of the devices.
