gnome help

[Randy Gnaedinger <gnaeding televar com>]

Hi,
    I'm a novice at Linux and at Gnome, but know a lot about windows.  I
have a few questions I hope someone can answer.  One how do I get a PPP
dial up going.  Two were can I configure hardware.  Three how do I see
files that are on something like a CD-ROM or on a 3.5 inch floppy.  My
linux is from Redhat and is version 6.0 the GNOME I'm using is the
version that can with linux when I installed it.

Thank You   Randy Gnaedinger
