This should not be a problem as long as you don't move your current HD to another position. Just make sure you have the jumpers set correctly. You might also need to change jumpers on your old HD, if it is alone on a ribbon, since some HDs have a single drive setting as well as a master setting. After the hardware stuff is done, and your bios has accepted the existence of the new HD, the rest is easy. Just make a new directory, make the proper fstab entry, mount your new HD to it, copy the stuff you want to move to it and make symlinks from their old position, and you're done. Good luck. -- Regards Med venlig hilsen Ole Kofoed Hansen <A HREF="mailto:k01164@ko.sdu.dk">mailto:k01164@ko.sdu.dk</A> ICQ-UIN: 25773325 On Fri, 26 Mar 1999, Richard Ibbotson wrote:
Hi
I've been thinking about putting a second IDE hard disc into my Linux box for a while now. I know that Linux is probably easy to configure for a second disc. I've got a spare 1Gb IDE HD which would do the job
How would I go about doing this with SuSE 6.0 ? Do I have to troil away with the keyboard for a week or do I just install the disc and that's it ?
The other thing is are there any web sites or Howtos on this ?
Thank you
