In short yes, but it will only work at the speed supported IE an ATA100 drive
will work at ATA33-66-and 100. I buy ATA133 drives and use them on my ATA100

Thanks for the tip. I'll remember that. As it is, I'm unable to ping,
browse to, ssh to, tel-net to, telepathically link to, or otherwise

hi rusty,
off the top of my head, i would say that your su needs to be setuid

it would be more helpful if you posted the contents of /etc/shadow.
