Firstly, I know nothing about Fedora except it isn't spelt Debian!

Linux does have SAMBA as an option to speak Windoze SMB language for the
exchange of files between Windoze and Linux. It can also be used to share
Windoze printers. I've not used SAMBA and deliberately uninstall it if it's
installed. Result, I can't help with SAMBA.
You could install telnetd and ftpd (telnet and ftp servers) on your Linux
machine and ftp files from Windoze (this is what I mostly do), or
Mount your CD drive and read disks created in Windoze.
By default the CD drive is not mounted (it's a security thing). What you
need to do is create a directory as a mount point. Lets say /mnt. Let's
assume your CDROM is the first drive on IDE1. If there are two drives on
IDE0 they will be hda and hdb, and your CDROM will be hdc. If your CDROM
was the second drive on IDE0 it wll be hdb.
1. mkdir /mnt
2. mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /mnt
You should be able to see the contents of the CD in /mnt and use normal
file transfer options to move them. Be aware that if you are logged on as a
user (and not root) you may be restriced to copying the files to anywhere
but your home directory.
3. When you are finished with the CD you need to unmount the drive with
umount /mnt Note that it is umount and not unmount. You can now remove the
CD.
Mounting floppies is similar
1. create the mount point, say /floppy with mkdir /floppy
2. mount the floppy with mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /floppy
3. umount /floppy to unmount it when you've finished.
If it's available as an option you might want to consider installing
Midnight Commander (in Debian the package name is mc). If you've ever used
Norton Commander or Windows Commander you'll instantly find yourself in
familiar territory for working with files and directories.
Cheers ... Ray
