Question Total Linux Newbie

I just installed Mandrake 8.1 and I have several questions.
1. I can't get it to recognize my modem.
2. I have found a couple solutions, but when it says run setserial, where do I do that from?
3. Can I boot from my cd rom? It doesn't seem to respond when I want to either insert a disk or run the disk that is already in.

Thanks

These guys here are good but you might also want to post this question in the forums at this site. .Linux Junior There's a few more Linux gurus there.
It's always good to have a couple of resources.
