The problem with these machines is they are SCSI. When you add an IDE drive, it boots from there. You have not choice. The IDE can't be smaller than 4 gig because I need to drive copy Windows from the SCSI to the IDE before Linux is installed on the SCSI. If it weren't for Windows ... >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 4/19/2001 8:43:29 PM >>> On Thu, Apr 19, 2001 at 05:45:13PM -0700, Cory Petkovsek wrote: > Anyone need practice installing linux? > > We'll have a cram-install fest, setting up a bunch of machines at once probably a >week before the show.

Did you check the Goodwill on Coburg Rd. They have a fair selection of /junk/. a 1G /usr should hold more than enough software ... do you really need 4-6G? To me, one of the cooler aspects of linux is that it will run, and run well, on /junk/. I recently installed Debian unstable with ReiserFS on a 486dx laptop. It fsckin' rocks, and is actually quite stable. It even built it's own 2.4.3 kernel :) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
