Its worked fine for every other OS I've tried.. the odd thing was that Linux couldn't find my yamaha the same way, but installed fine off the plextor (2nd). I thought it could have been ultra and wide support on, but setting the card back to defualts didn't help. The problem with using another scsi card is that my only secondaries available are two adaptec 6x60, which are fast-scsi 2 isa cards. I might be able to get my cdroms and seagate drive on it, but my ibm would be dead, and it seems like more of a hassle to switch back and forth then its worth it. So, two questions. What do you mean by 'clean,' and if I copy the cd to the root of one of my fat16 partitions, booting off the cd, will it install that way? I tried before, but said it didn't see the data on any of the partitions... thanks!
