SATA on the KnoppMyth Distro: There are scripts that Cecil and Dale have created to work with a SATA drive. To use the script required a manual installation. I ran a manual installation an d ran the script to configure SATA on the KnoppMyth box. I must have been doing something wrong. I would successfully get the system to run load on the SATA drive, but it would not boot after all files are copied to it. The script is still a bit in the development stages. I configured the SATA drive to be sda1, etc., (sda1, I think is the correct label for Serial ATA (SCSI to Linux) in KnoppMyth. It would not boot for me after all is loaded. Kind of disappointing not to be able to use SATA drives, but in the end, it saved me an estimated $150.00 since I bought PATA drives.
It has been a couple months ago and the mind is a bit cloudy about it now. I just had problems I wasn't able to work through. Others with more skill, should be able to configure it without mush difficulty.

My only complaint is that when the batteries die (every few months) I am shocked because it appears my machine has locked up so I end up scratching my head for a while before I realize it is the batteries then I stomp around the house unhappily as I try to figure out where I put those AAA's. For my needs a wireless keyboard may not be necessary but I really do like the wireless mouse. So in the future I may go with wired keyboard but get one of those new mice that come with the internal batteries and a recharging stand. Say, anyone here played with that new laser mouse? Most optical mice just have an LED in them, not an actual laser. But they have one out now that really does have a laser which is supposed to offer even higher resolution movement on any kind of surface. > Memory: Get as mush as you can afford.

Fry's has a I am considering investing in some SATA drives to play with AoE so I can play with migrating xen processes around.
