Many thanks to: John Hearns - I'll continue to communicate directly Duncan Browne - I'll try the above first as I really don't want to spend the time if I can help it. Alexander Dalloz - thanks for pointing out my error - I downloaded Fedora and not Red Hat. Either way, I can't get it working so I'll shuffle off to a more pedestrian site - clearly, this one is much too sophisticated for yokels like me!

Is it a controller card to which you can plug SATA IDE drives and the controller appears as SCSI to the system? So the controller card certainly needs driver support. Didn't you ask Starline before buying that hardware whether it is Linux prepared? What does Starline say is the correct SCSI kernel driver module for the card?

Or contact the support of the programming company. For serious, your mail header shows up X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Version 6.1.0.6 as MUA, and I can't say how good or bad that client is in supporting standards. End of March I did initialize a thread with subject "GPG signatures and list mail" with quite some responses. the conclusion - not only by me - was, that it's a client side problem, if it does not handle signed mails proper. Typically those "problems" arise on Windows[tm] platforms. GPG/PGP signed messages are a feature and no bug ;) Alexander -- Alexander Dalloz | Enger, Germany | GPG key 1024D/ED695653 1999-07-13 Fedora GNU/Linux Core 1 (Yarrow) on Athlon CPU kernel 2.4.22-1.2188.nptl Sirendipity 14:29:33 up 13:18, 11 users, 0.11, 0.16, 0.10 [ ÃâÃÂÃâÃÂàÃÆ'ÃÂÃâÃâÃÂà- gnothi seauton ] my life is a planetarium - and you are the stars -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Then welcome back ;) Linux is at 2.4.26 and 2.6.5 (see http://www.kernel.org/). Linux is the kernel, the rest are mainly GNU tools and distribution work. If with "Linux 9" you spoke about Redhat 9, then this is not Fedora. See the top of the Fedora project site at http://fedora.redhat.com/ where it clearly states that Fedora is no Redhat Inc supported product. So it is not that clear to me what you did download: Redhat 9 - which reaches EOL in 3 days - or Fedora Core 1. With Redhat (9) questions you would be on the wrong list, while Fedora Core topics are highly discussed here.
