if only that were an option for me. the decision (not mine) is that we will develop on 2.2.12. but that is a local political issue..... the interesting this is this: initially, i had the setup as disk disk cd-rom disk with all jumpers (master/slave) appropriatly set. and as previously noted, redhat 7.1 (2.4.2) saw the configuration, debian (2.2.12) did not. do to double check jumpers, and just out of curiosity, i switched hdc and hdd. now both linux's see all four drives. (which still begs the question why debian did not before.... but that is just a side issue now. it works. thanks to martin for his kind help. -- regards, allen wayne best contractor, diagnostics and support tools telnet 447-4070 "your friendly neighborhood rambler owner" "my rambler will go from 0 to 105" Current date: 3:34:13::196:2001
