Can anyone advice me on the following problems:

1. When using X Window I was unable to use CD-ROM drive and Floppy
drive. I tried to auto mount them by clicking on CDROM and Floppy icons, but
I got an error message, and saying that it had to be done manually (I have
to show a path?)
Also, I could not get the internet to work (I have dialup connection)

2. How should I install my CR-ROM drive, Floppy drive, printer and scanner?
Which application should I use to install them?

3. Can someone let me know where should I go in X Window and which drivers
use to each of them. Please let me know in step by step instructions

My computer specifications are as follows:

- Pentium II 266,
- Asus P2B Motherboard
- 64 MB 00 MHz SDRAM DIMM (Single Stick)
- Microsoft IntelliMouse
- Mitsumi 1.44MB 3.5" Floppy Drive
- Maxtor DiamondMax 6.8GB (model 90680D4)
- Sony 32x IDE CD-ROM Drive (model CDU701)
- ATI Expert @ Work, 8MB AGP (01)0072741940210 (21)06826 01771
- Creative Ensoniq Audio PCI Sound Card (9817) Assy no; 01 Rev: C
