I want to install 2.2 BETA on the SCSI disk. I have ordered a 2940UW to plug into a PCI slot but the card won't be here for another month. If I partition the disk and install 2.2 BETA, would I need to repartition and reinstall the system once I replace the 1522 with a 2940UW? My hunch is that I don't need to unless something card-specific goes into the disklabel. -- Sohail Aslam Department of Computer Science, Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS) Lahore, Pakistan tel: 92-42-572-2670 fax: 92-42-572-2591 email: aslam@lums.edu.pk
