I've moved some HW around to make a new F8 box for my granny user. Like to
have it ready Tuesday.
I have a WD-1600 jumpered and cabled as /dev/hdb, except now (and I do NOT
get this) everything in F8 configures as /dev/sd[a-d]. I just HATE it when
they change shit and leave me wondering why.
So the box BIOS finds this drive as Auto and fills in its size, but
doesn't offer it to me as a resource during the install.
So I guess my real question is, why is a person who used to do two
installs before breakfast (that's me) now finding it so frakin' hard to
even understand why he's failing?
If they improve Linux much more, I may have to switch to windoze.
Tell me what I need to tell you to get this moving.
TAI,
did you see this yet?

rb (you're gonna have to support this F8 thing
but it sure will be pretty ;^)
P.S.
Did you see that Red Hat wants a less bleeding
edge Redhat Desktop?
