It'll probably work. :( You may still need to specify the amount of
memory if they are still using an old kernel. Someone here tried a
RedHat install on another Dell we have. It appeared to boot once we
took care of the memory thing. Apparently RedHat doesn't load the SCSI
drivers at boot time. Basically you specify which SCSI modules to load
after their installation program has started, thus avoiding the boot
time problems.

Indeed. Debian rules! :-)
