 Posted: Tue Dec 30, 2003 4:55 pm Post subject: Gauging Need for Raid/Floppy Install Howto |
 |
|
I recently aquired a box from work that I populated with 4 6.3gb hard drives with the intention of turning it into a Raid 0 file server. However I ran into a couple of problems, firstly I couldn't run a CDROM at the sametime due to the limits of the motherboard (i.e only 4 ide channels). So I dug around to find that you can indeed install gentoo using a bootdisk, but nowhere was there any info on doing the same but with the intentions of setting up raid. There is a HOWTO on setting up RAID 0, but no FLOPPY HOWTO.
Anyway the point of this post is to find out if such a HOWTO would be useful, I managed to get gentoo to install using RAID booting from Floppy Only with no need for a CD.
Post your comments here and if I received favorable feedback i'll construct a howto. |

It never hurts to have too many HOWTOs. I can think of several instances where I might want to install Gentoo strictly from floppy, and I can't even begin to think of a way to do it.
You've got at least one vote from me.
