| Yeah but the pain is that the other guy has to have a linux on his box.
| And if he doesn't then we have a fix.
| Just listen to me. You'll think I'm crazy, but we have done it many times
| So much so that we have now permanently taken the Cd -drive out!BANG.
| It hits you, but
| you can easily take the Cdrom Drive out(ie: if nothing else works) and
| attach to your PC. It's very easy. Open the Box, There are only two buses
| to the CD take them out and take the Drive to your PC attach the same
| buses in your Box. (Only the right Buses shall fit, so dont worry about
| the right or wrong ones). Be ready with the bootable cdrom and voila! You
| are underway installing your RH.
| This might seem like a mammoth task or very risky. BUT BELIEVE ME ITS EASY
| Of-course Switch off the power before doing so........
|
| Try what you think is best.
