I know better now, and have a /boot of 450MB, with plenty of room to play with new kernels. 8-)HTH On Tuesday March 29 2005 8:45 am, Jim Hall wrote:Paolo Alexis Falcone wrote:On Tue, 29 Mar 2005 07:11:57 -0600, Jim Hall <volunteer@revealed.net>wrote:In Sarge, all of the installed burner packages are having problems. Someof the docs say I should define the burner as a SCSI device because ATAPI is a form of SCSI.The installer asked if I had SCSI devices. Should I have said "Yes" (forthe sake of future installs)?2.6 kernels already have native ATAPI support.Since I used the default 2.4 kernel, I can only use a 2.6 kernel on this system if it's fairly safe (repeat: safe) to switch.Anyway, attaching a SCSI device in the future is straight-forward enough that it doesn't warrant reinstallation procedures.I wasn't considering actual future SCSI devices or reinstallation, only the posibility that if I had said yes to the SCSI option when I installed, I wouldn't be asking this question now. JimI should be able to get on the system in question this weekend. I'll check out what's been suggested and run some experiments. I'll post back the results early next week.Jim
Sorry for the delay. I finally got to work on this system. I used a Knoppix v3.6 CD with the 2.6 kernel. I burned the Knoppix v3.7 iso perfectly. The 2.6 kernel appears to be the way to go. /boot is 118MB, so that looks OK.
Another problem solved, Jim
