I was wondering, is there an ideal way to configure a system with two IDE hard drives and a generic read-only CD-rom ? I read somewhere that the CD-rom had to be a primary slave for it to boot properly. Is this true? I plan to spread one Linux installation over both hard drives. Its a P133 and the hard drives are both 540 megs. And one more question. The CD-rom in the system above is really just for installing Linux. After that I plan on removing it. Would removing the CD-rom 'confuse' Linux and screw things up or will the boot up proceedure recognize the new configuration?
