Soon you will feel the power of the command line.

The harddisks shouldn't be an issue as far as I know, but it may be worthwhile using LVM when partitioning your media storage partitions, depending on how you want to 'add' the extra space. (ie. I have a directory on my system called /video, which utilises about 50Gb from one of my disks and the whole 250Gb of the other. I achieved this using LVM. It also allows me to add extra space to the volume at a later date if I need to. Unfortunately, JFS doesn't allow you to shrink volumes and that's what I am using. Other formats do allow for this though.)

Hello
I'm attempting a Myth Install today. I'll be installing it on an
80GB IDE drive, and I also have a 160GB Serial ATA drive on the system.
I want to add 2 more 120GB serial ATA drives later on (I'll be
taking them out of my old Beyond TV box when I get the Myth box up
and running). Will this be difficult? I'll be running Redhat FC4
(downloaded last night), and an intel mobo with SATA onboard.
I am a total Linux newbie (I built and ran Myth about 2 years ago
for a while, but some dependencies broke and I couldn't fix it, so I
switched to BeyondTV). I'm VERY VERY much a GUI person (if that makes
a difference).
