RE: [SLUG] IDE BOOT RAID 1

Hi Dave, Bootable RAID 1 is fun isn't it? ;) I think we saw this problem when playing with our Raid this week. My guesses would be: *) Raid support is not enabled in the kernel *) Auto-mount raid partitions are not enabled in the kernel *) The raid partitions are not type fd *) Something is br

Re: [SLUG] First virus to infect Windows, Linux (fwd)

Wierd indeed. I couldn't find anything on the site that even vaguely refered to the virus. What I did find was a reference to NT 5.0, which just goes to show how old it must all be. It all looks like one big furphey. -- Howard. LANNet Compu
