Hi Rahul,
According to my knowledge you have to installed linux on master hdd only bcoz linux recognised only master hdd. If u r installing linuz on 2nd hdd then make it as master & make 1st hdd as slave if the 1st hdd is not having linux installed. RIC- All Luggers if I am wrong kindly update me.

hello luggers, i have a doubt regarding installation of linux on a second hdd which will be a slave hdd. do i have to place the boot partition on the master hdd? and what about the swap partition? are there any other different steps during installation? i guess i hve to select hdb as the mount point for the root(/) partition. thanks rahul ___________________________________________________

You are right! Philip, I mean! :)
GNU/Linux itself can be installed anywhere you like ... its the bootloader that has to be installed on the MBR of the master hard-disk. Because that's where the BIOS will look after powering up, in order to know what OS to boot and from where.

Better still, read the welcome message that you received when you first subscribed to the mailing list. You were _supposed_ to have read that anyway!
