Hi all, Firstly I was wondering when the next workshop meeting was as canterbury.lug.net.nz said it was undecided. Secondly I was wanting some help at the next workshop as I wish to convert an old CD-Net I obtained to Run some form of linux which mounts the eight Cd-Rom drives over NFS. I have reinstalled the motherboard and CPU from the original 286 it is now a 300mhz box 32mb of ram (It should be sufficient) and added a small hdd. I have tried installing an old version of Slackware with no avail. I think that is because I have no idea on kernal modules but the Original isa scsi controllers(2) have the adaptec AIC6360Q Chipset. I would also like to add another Scsi controller a Symbios logic Chipset *I think* which I havent tried to get going yet. This SCSI controller would be for 3 SCSI hdds. I was wondering if someone could help me get this going at one of the next workshops(If I can go). Im going to download Slackware 9.1 on monday. I would like to try slackware in a fileserver enviroment unless anyone else has any better suggestions.
|Thanks Ben Devine
