What has to be done to achieve this? To start with one of these above mentioned question: I think the 0.1 distribution has problems with IDE drives. I tried to format my Maxtor 7120 with various combinations of tracks/heads/sectors and always I get either Input/Output error on /dev/wd0a or cd: can't cd to /mnt or mount: /dev/wd0a invalid argument Can anyone confirm that there is a problem or do I have to change hardware? --Christoph P.
