Hi SuSE people.
Kind of an ignorant question I guesss, but who knows.
Presently running 9.2 and 10.0 on one IDE disk, Win 98 on the other smaller IDE drive. Running a CDRom and a DVD burner on the other IDE2 connector. Downloaded 10.2 and want to install it but would rather not blow away the other installs. (Have to keep Win for my Flight Planning software)
Anyway, my MB is a K8T Neo2 - AMD64 and is SATA capable.
Here is the stupid question......Can I add a SATA drive to this setup and install 10.2 on it? (No snickering please) and if not how about a big firewire or external USB ??
Sata capable? Does that mean it has sata headers on the board? Chances are, unless it dates back a few years when sata was buggy, it will work. But who knows which disk will end up being hda? Some times the bios lets you set that, some times not. And, I don't think, you would be happy with a distro installed on firewire or usb 2. Its pretty slow, I've tried it. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
