[olug] New HD or Diskless Linux

[Adam Haeder]

Hi J
I've got an IBM 540M IDE hard drive you can have. I know it works, it may
even still have it's linux partition on it :-). We can meet sometime or you
can pick it up at the meeting on Tuesday nite.

Hi all

I need to bring up another linux box and the PC has no HD.  So I need a
small cheap HD or I'll have to bring it up as a diskless boot on NFS.

A small cheap HD is the prefered, inelegant, cheap and dirty method.

Else I'll need to bring up with it's filesystem on NFS with two nics
and maybe a hub.  This will mean that I'll have to install some soft-
ware and do some study, which is fine, except that it will postpone
work on my project.  I'd also need to know whether there's anything
about hubs of which I should be aware.

Comments gratefully accepted and perused.

Randy
