Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
I think if you do the following on the command line a Disk management utility will appear.
sudo apt-get install gparted
sudo apt-get install pysdm
Then in administration the "Storage Device Manager" will show up and I believe this is the tool that can mount other partitions in a GUI.
The Disks utility was in the previous version of Ubuntu and I don't know why it isn't there in 6.10.
I'd check to make sure the shares aren't already there. If you post your "/etc/fstab" file, I can tell you if a windows partition is being mounted automatically.
The Ubuntu install crashed? Hmm... If you like Knoppix you could also try Freespire, or Mandriva, or SUSE (choosing KDE instead of GNOME).
With both Windows and the Ubuntu crashing, I'm wondering if it's a disk (hardware) problem....

Okay, that's it. I fell victim. I'm in the process of installing ubuntu on one of my machines. In a short time my desktop will have three computers with three different operating systems running and no less than 4 LCD monitors shining away. I think I need help.

In my family it is cars, but the same law.
Perfectly normal...
eta: ACK! Nattery in the notNattery thread. My bad.
I have a new Mac edit station at work, and I'd like for the tower to be farther away from the monitor than the included monitor cable currently allows. Does Apple sell extension monitor cables? I can't find any on the Apple site, but maybe I'm just not looking in the right place...
It's not hard to find DVI extension cables.
