I'll look for IDE drives then.  I don't know that I can make down south to Micro-center.  I noticed I just missed an install-fest.  I think my Debian install disks are pretty old.  Is there a handy howto to make a bootable cd/dvd install image in KDE?

Now I'll get to learn again how to set up my network.  *&#$^(#@ :)
