It is very possible and likely you need to flash your bios to support the larger drive. I've got an old motherboard that had a 133 pent running with 3 15 gig IBM drives and a cyrix 300, but nono would have been possible without flashing the bios. Would need to know motherboard manufacturer and

[newbie] SB 64 AWE config

2000-02-26 Thread RRPotratz
Hello, I've upgraded my motherboard and CPU and now can not get my SB64AWE to work correctly. As the modules are loaded as it boots the card starts to buzz and does not stop. The only way to get it to stop is to edit anything having to do with sound out of /etc/conf.modules and reboot.

Re: [newbie] Linux Partitions

Your / seems too small should probably be 500-1000, /home might be trimmed some unless you are going to storing lots of datamaybe about 500. If you took 500 from /home and some from /usr (500 or so) and put that towards / I think that would be pretty balanced. Are you putting this on it's own
