I'm not sure why you're starting a second thread on the same subject, but check my reply in your other thread. You can get a mobo with software RAID (e.g. the HPT372). The RAID controller's IDE channels will function just like the IDE0/1 channels. Just check beforehand that the controller is supported by Linux, but unless it's some weird controller, it will be. -- ....................paul Programming without a hex editor is like watchmaking without a hammer. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
