Re: [linrad] Pointer needed SUSE 9.0 pro

["DG5CST, Sebastian" <vhf@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,
I've got the same problem.
I tryed to install Suse9 on my AMD 2600+ 768MB ASUS A7V600 and Serial ATA-
HDD

Is there any distribution which can handle serial-ata?
I'm a total newcommer to linux. I only tried knoppix a few times.

Thanks Sebastian , DG5CST
