Hi,
I'm trying to upgrade a box running redhat 6.0 with mandrake 7

<aside>
I asmume this is possible and it should work fine.

the bios on this old box can't boot from CD so I popped in the boot
diskette. linux booted then said it couldn't find the CDROM device. (the
redhat installer had no such trouble) I picked 'other not scsi'. It's an
'Aztech' IDE drive so I chose that from the list - got 'device not found'

for the hell of it tried every combination of choices it gave me - no dice.
finally it asked for disk drive args. what do I put there?

there doesn't seem to be a way to install/upgrade without the CD. I have
another machine on the network so I could do an FTP install if possible.

Any ideas?

Gavin
