From what I am told I do not need any special drivers to use this from Linux. However - even before I get to that stage - I cannot even get the DOC to event try to boot linux. I followed all the step one would normally take to make a bootable Hard Drive, and I keep getting the error "Invalid or Damaged Bootable partition". Basically, 1) I made a filesystem for the device. 2) Then I Fdisk'ed the device, setting the one and only partition to be bootable. 2) Then I formatted the device (and hence the entire partition) as ext2. 3) and then I mounted the device as a secondary IDE device on my Linux Box as ext2. 4) I copied the filesystem files to the device. 5) I ran LILO with a configuration file that pointed to the appropriate locations on my device. In verbose mode it looked like everything went okay. When I try to boot from the device as a master I get the error: "Invalid or Damaged Bootable partition". Does anyone have any ideas? Please respond to this email address (thepond@charter.net) 'cause I am only receiving a daily digest. Kindest Regards, Jerry
