Ok, but again, not everyone runs redhat. I for example run slackware, which doesn't do such hardware detection leaving me to read the cd writing howto. Yes, I know I could've picked redhat, but there was slackware's zipslack modified into zipspeak, and there was my drive entirely taken up by a fat32 partition, and there was me wanting to have a easy shot at linux (grin). So, that's how that story goes. Greg On Mon, Jan 07, 2002 at 11:38:11PM -0700, William F. Acker WB2FLW +1-303-777-8123 wrote: > Actually, one of each.
