Mandrake and raid
 
Howdies all,
Im thinking about downloading mandrake, but since there "supported hardware" page isnt working :( just wanted to ask, will it install on my raid system using the Highpoint HTP372 raid chip? And do i need the linux drivers (HERE) or would it sort itself out?

Also, i have my raid system split into 3 different partitions (w2k, XP and a spare 10gigs which was for lindows), what file system do i use? FAT32?

And lastly, does mandrake support USB wireless adaptors?

Cheers all :)

Linux doesn't use FAT32, try to use EXT3 in the install if possible because this is a journaling system like NTFS.

ummmmm :confused:
lol sorry mate, but basically i should leave it up to install program to format the partition?
Also, will mandrake allow me to view my NTFS partitions?

Cheers :)

linux can read but not write (at least not safely yet) NTFS
