In the Itanium2 powered by Supermicro and Intel, I included a great device: A DVD-RAM (Dl_rw ...), i'll burn the .iso and will try to boot with it! Hummm, I saw some issues in other distrib of Linux (Suse) and full notes are provided about command line of elilo.efi... Up to now, I succeeded to run-up the Itanium2 with a time-limit version of windows 2003 :/ ; My daughter have a few preferences for Linux, I can't disapoint her! You understand me? Actually, i'm waiting for riser pci-x, from USA for slotting-into a Matrox Parthélia! I'm a cow-boy of computing here, in france! ^^ As soon as the computer will be ok, i'll can provide all the guidelines to the Linux's comunity! I have got a developer trainning and i'm looking for a job! Have a good week!
