How do you install Mandriva Linux and Windows XP on a single Hard Disk Drive?
Boot into Mandriva and shrink your XP partition to a reasonable size, then format the remaining space, minus a few GB, with ext4, and the few GB left over, format as 'swap'. You can do all this with gparted (I THINK that's included on the disk by default - if not you can download and install it from their repositories).
Then on installation just install the data onto the ext4 and register the swap partition as well...swap
Can one connect a Linux computer direct to a windows one?
If by "direct" you mean "with no router", then yes. You will need an Ethernet crossover cable, and to manually configure the Ethernet IP address. Set one as 192.168.0.1 and the other as 192.168.0.2. Set the default gateway to the other computer's IP address. You will then just need to set up file sharing services like Samba or NFS, and you can transfer files between them.

How do you install FileZilla on Linux?
To begin, make sure wxWidgets is installed and then download FileZilla from the Web site. Keep in mind that FileZilla 3 is still currently in a beta status, but it should be at release status soon. For Linux, download the i586-Linux-gnu package, such as FileZilla_3.0.0-rc3_i586-Linux-gnu.tar.bz2.
Unpack FileZilla wherever you wish to install it. The package contains a precompiled binary, so you may want to install into ~/bin/ or /usr/local:
$ CD ~/bin/
$ tar xvjf FileZilla_3.0.0-rc3_i586-Linux-gnu.tar.bz2
You can either add ~/bin/FileZilla/bin/ to your path or create a simple wrapper to call FileZilla and place the wrapper script in your path:
#!/bin/sh
~/bin/FileZilla3/bin/filezilla $*
