Ask him if he has a hardware RAID card : ) If not, we can walk him through the software RAID method. If he has a 64-bit server, he can use the x86_64 centos ISO's, and if he doesn't he will get a screen message saying "this machine does not support long mode" or something very similar. In which case he can put the 32-bit Centos ISO's on there. Once we know if he has hardware RAID SCSI card or not, we can walk him through the disk setup, I will dig up the right FAQ for this and send it, along with my own notes... -karl > On 7/20/06, Karl R.
