I have a PC with 512MB of memory, symbios scsi controller and 2=C3=979GB SCSI drives. = I'm also getting 2=C3=97120GB IDE drives. My limited understand leads me to believe that I could designate the IDE drives as WORM and the SCSI drives+memory as cache. What is the best way to configure this? Also, are the idefs changes (dorman/geoff/nemo) in the latest distribution?
