As long as you are installing a standard IDE adapter, or one that Linux
know how to talk to, you will not have any problems.
To accessing the IDE drive:
creating the partitions
run mke2fs on them
create mount points
create entries in /etc/fstab
mount partitions (This will be automatic on boot)
put content into the directories
config the servers to use the new directories
Instead of creating new mount points, you could mount the new partitions
where the current html and ftp directories are...
You may have to add a couple of lines to /etc/lilo.conf to keep lilo
happy. With a mix of SCSI and IDE drives, it does not know how the BIOS
has the drives mapped, so you usualy have to tell it.
disk=/dev/sda
bios=0x80
