Some notes on a fresh RH 7.3 install.

The darn thing found everything including my ISA SB32, excluding my zip drive.
The zip was a bit confusing until I figured out it is now /dev/hdd instead of 
/dev/hdd4....go figure? I also needed to append ide-floppy to lilo.conf.
I have a USB compact/smart dual card reader. I plugged it in and added the 
proper line to fstab,
/dev/sda1		/mnt/card		auto	defaults	0 0
and made a floppy icon for it...works great.

side note.
I have a Kodak DC5000 digital camera. After trial and error I found that 
Gphoto supports it as the Kodak 240 through the serial cable. Works great but 
a bit slow compared to the Kodak software on my NT box. I have not gotten my 
Sony vid-cam TRV525 working yet. Guess I'll need to get a 1394 card. Cant get 
anything through the serial connect. I also  have a connectix "quick clip" 
parallel that I just cant get working under linux?!?

the end.

Ronnie
