Well for one.. there's no concept of drive lettering in the UNIX environment :) The way I've always ordered drives is to put the larger and faster (usually newer) drive as primary master (the one which will hold the main partition (the / partition). Then goes the other one. Then on the other interface (mind you this is all with IDE interfaces), I put the CD drives. CD writers should always be primary if they exist. Never mix CD drives and hard disk drives. It's all in the interrupts and the latency that results if you do things incorrectly :) I don't know how much any of what I just said will help you, but I hope I've said something helpful and someone benefits ;) On Tue, 26 Sep 2000, larry mintz wrote: > I want to get RH 7.0 PRO.
