Mandrake and raid

Visibleman · 02-09-2003, 17:10

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

Dom

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

ummmmm

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
