well, no :( you probably wont be able to install to sata drives until the patch is included in the main cooker kernel but you might use a temporary PATA( standard ATA) harddrive to install MDK , install the modified kernel, move the instalation to the SATA drives there are various usefull howto's on tldp.org, search for "root riad" "root lvm" "root evms" which contains information for moving the installation. best, svetljo -- COMPUTERBILD 15/03: Premium-e-mail-Dienste im Test -------------------------------------------------- 1.
