Hi,

I am trying to find out if RedHat 7.3 supports Ultra ATA/100 hard
drives (like in the Dell Dimension 1100).


I also need to know if support for this drive is contained in the
distributed kernel (out of the box) or if a kernel upgrade is required.



Can someone please point me to a URL that would inform me of this?

Unless you have a compatibility issue, you don't care. RH7.3 is old and
out-of-date in terms of features and stability. You would do yourself a
major disservice by using it if you don't have to. Download or give
cheapbytes their $5 and buy the CDs. (or whatever the price is now).

That is not the problem. Millions still user Windows 95.
The problem is that the security updates have never been applied and do not
exist. Ie, that machine is wide open to attacks.
So my conclusion is the same-- get a newer version!
