Re: Failed 'null' Install On Intel 2.8G, Asus P4T533 System

I'll recheck the Asus P4T533 manual, John, but it does indicate the RAID 
IDE connectors are for use with the Promise RAID functionality only. I 
also can't find a BIOS setup switch for this.

When I tried to 'up2date' my new null installation, up2date stalled when 
downloading openoffice and then puked a python traceback. Updating 
up2date only results in segfaults.
