I promise to write a kick ass how to once I thoroughly understand what
I'm doing.

Neophyte here.....what is up with this mounting thing?  I have a cd
rom drive and a jazz drive that I'm trying to get to now. 



Do I have to type in mount commands everytime I want to use them? 

Is there a way to auto mount drives?

Do I have to unmount and remount eveytime I want to change disks?

I have a dual boot machine, is there a way to read my DOS partitions
from within Linux?

Thanks guys for your help in advance!
