I know this is OT, but I am running Debian Etch -I picked up a
new computer last light - 2.4 ghz with a dual core
processor....put my hd from my old machine in it...and WOW! I
thought Etch was fast before on my 450mhz P3.This however is just
the lead in to a question I am hoping the gurus here can
answer.The computer came with an LG DVD player - but I'd like to
install my CD burner in as well. Etch recognizes the DVD drive as
/dev/hdd. Question is [OT alert] should I make the CD burner the
slave to the DVD, or should I make it the slave to the HD? The
Intel board only has two IDE connectors or is there a better way
?? Sorry guys definitely OT for this list.Thanks
If you are going to often simultaneously use the CD burner and DVD
player, and if you have room on the mobo, then add a CAD25 IDE
controller.
If not, cable as "primary" whichever drive you anticipate using the
most.
Or... buy a combo CD/DVD+-R/RW drive. Can't be more than CAD125.
