Well, let me recap what I *do* have (hardware wise):
I have a PCI/ISA-ONLY motherboard with DUAL-PPro 200's.
I have 192 megs of RAM, almost 11 GIGS of drive space (heck, I might
dual-boot Red Hat 6 and Mandrake just for the fun of it <G>)
I have an Advansys Ultra SCSI PCI card. On-board is an SB-16/clone built-in.
Still to get: Floppy, Network and Video. AGP is out -- no AGP slot on a
PPro. :-)
If I read all the threads correctly, I should IMMEDIATELY get the updated
kernels and SOX, etc. Which files are the "initscripts"? I am used to doing
a "custom" install with everything except the foreign-language "how-to"
files, and I'll certainly have the drivespace for it. With SCSI, do I still
need to have the /boot in the first 1023 cylinders? If so, I may have /boot
on an IDE and boot from IDE and have the rest of the system on my 9.1 GB
SCSI.
Let me also recap that I'm NOT exactly a newbie, but I'm no expert either...
:-) I've been running Linux for the past 6 months at work (dual-booting
between Linux and Win98, mostly staying in Linux <G>) I think I'm taking on
a bit of a challenge here setting up an SMP machine. :-)
