These guys at Altamicro advertised on the Redhat Install list that they have a version of Redhat all set up to install RH on SATA drives for the Intel 875 chipsets, so I think it can be done. Altamicro 3423 Investment Boulevard Suite 202 Hayward, CA 94545 1-866-868-ALTA (Toll Free) 1-510-732-3728 (Main) I think they sell a CD for $5 or something pretty cheap. I don't know what you can download, or how in depth their web site it. Check them out if it's of interest to you. Cheers, Mark -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
