I am ruuning linux on a 11 gig EIDE and not having any problems either, the
system
is a pentium-II (300) with 128 Mb in RAM and a second HDD with 4.3 gigs.
36x cdrom, a Zip drive and everything's going on smootly, as a fact I didn't
have
any problems with, M5.2 or 5.3 either (maybe I am a lucky one :=))
I am downloading cooker, will see what happens! cheers!
