I'm having significant troubles installing Fedora Core 3 on my SATA drive so I'm considering Slackware.

I've seen posts stating that they were able to install successfully on an SATA drive and I've seen some saying I need a different D1 ISO.

Here are my system specs:

Processor: Intel Pentium 4 2.4ghz
Motherboard: Intel D845PEBT2
Chipset: Intel i845PE
Memory: 1GB DDR3200
Video Card: NVidia Geforce FX 5900XT
Sound: Onboard 82801DB/DBM Audio Controller
Hard Drives: 120GB SATA Maxtor (1 partition with Win XP), 75GB SATA Seagate (un-partitioned, planning to put FC3 on here)
SATA Controller: Silicon Image SiI 3112 SATALink Controller
IDE drives: Lite-On DVD Player (Secondary Master), Plextor PX-708A (Secondary Slave)

Does anyone know if I'll be able to put the regular version of Slackware on the Seagate drive or will I need to take some different steps in order to install?

Thanks!

Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
