So, at work today, I realized I had to rebuild this server - it was on RHEL 3,
and it really needed 4 (corporate hasn't looked at 5 yet).
It's a Dell PowerEdge 850 - a blade. I, foolishly, put in the RHEL CDs that
came with all these systems.... and the RH install program can't find the CD it
booted from. After much irritation, I find a Dell package of CDs that you are
apparently supposed to boot from; it's even got an install for RHEL 4. Great.
AND SOME COMPLETE JACKASS AT DELL - what was this, release 8.9, and all by kids
for whom this was their first job out of school? - FORCE YOU TO FORMAT ALL
PARTITIONS. No options. No letting the RH install Disk Druid do it.
So everything I had aside on /opt is toast, and that'll be hours more work.
No, I can't recommend this crap.
