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?

Thanks,
Don

I *think* it does, at least it is very likely. But I was more curious why
you want to use such outdated version. Fedora Core 5 was released recently
if you want something from Redhat, or if FC5 is too big download try Mepis
or (K)Ubuntu.

Maybe he *has* cds for RH7.3, and no convenient way of getting the
equivalent for another version.

Requesting free CDs from www.ubuntu.com is inconvenient?

If a person doesn't have internet access, it could be, yes.

The two month plus wait for them tends to let the mind wander.

Seriously?

Epson and HP and the other printer standard always keep their's alive to
backfit but the newest printers can never have the latest features.

Why would you expect a release older than the drive to support the drive?
Forward compatibility is a lick and a promise.

All of this "stuck with a distribution" stuff is Microsoft thinking. That is
what MS wants so they can charge for service packs and their collaborators can
charge hapless MS users for obvious drivers.

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out-of-date in terms of features and stability.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!

If he didn't have internet access, how did he post here?
