If I remember right the Compaq software, smartstart, is for the RAID controller cards, yes (c,mon help us out, your message contains a dearth of info. How ya gonna git help this way)? AFAIR, the Smartstart CD will also set up drivers for the OS of choice as well. But really, this guy needs to go to both Compaq's and Mandrake's web site before coming here. -- john in sydney Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

You need to look at all your hardware, and check the Mandrake compatibility list. If you need this software or you need Raid support (proprietary drivers), Mandrake might do it, and it might not, and if you need the smartstart, you better see if mandrake will play nice with it -- J.
