No. Linux supports booting from SATA. > 2) does the mobo support the vfd and ir from the LC11m? IIRC, it's a USB connection, so the question is "Does Linux support the VFD and IR" (To which, I think, the answer is "Yes, with LCDProc and LIRC" > 3) does the cd/dvd drive fit in the LC11m case and is it easy to > detatch the drive door face? (wouldn't think I had to worry about > this but I found out the hard way) That DVD would fit fine, the only "Gotcha" would be that you'd need to adjust the "Eject Button Presser" in the case, but that's a matter of 1 screw and a bit of lining up before you re-assemble. > 4) Is there anything else I need?

I'm using one Myself (The same case, sans VFD, Socket A/AGP rather than PCI-E, and twin PVR-250's) with no problems at all (Once I solved the "Cheapo ASRock Motherboard/Crappy SiS AGP Implementation" problems that you won't run into with this board). -- Robert "Anaerin" Johnston _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
