I tried to first install Mepis, but at boot, I would get a kernel panic.  I 
had successfully installed it before with the same disk on my laptop.

I tried Kubuntu (sorry about the K part, Loni.  I am old and lazy).  It 
couldn't even find the drives while installing.  The disk checked out OK with 
mdsum, but I will try a fresh download and see what happens.

Couldn't find anything on the FAQ's or manual about this.
