FTP install with raid 0 and mobile barton
I want to install a fresh copy of linux onto my new system
system:
mobile barton 2500
with 2, 120 gig IDE HD's running on raid 0
Abit nf7-s mobo
the rest of the system I dont think is relative, please correct me if i'm wrong. I want to install Suse 9.1 using the FTP option, I've downloaded the boot file and I can burn it onto a cd, but how do I get suse to
1)Recognize my hd's which are running on raid (dont I have to load raid drivers first? If so, how do i do that before ftp install?)
2)Will there be any issues with linux recognizing a mobile processor?
3)How do I get FTP install version of Suse, recognize my NIC and internet connection, so that it could connect up to the server to dl the os?
4)Also, if anybody know, how effective has overclocking been under linux? Are there any advantages to linux over windows for OC? I should mention that I'm not switching to linux because I think it might help me overclock better, I was just curious, curious because I am planning on overclocking and would like to know what i'm getting into, but not going to stop switching over if I cant overclock period.
Thank you,
Sergei
