Okay, two IDE identical drives -- one will be the Master on the Primary 
controller, the other will be the Master on the Secondary controller.

Next question: Will it hurt anything to put the CDROM drive as the Slave on 
the secondary controller?  This is a no-no in the SCSI world, since I think 
it slows the entire bus down to the speed of the slowest device.  But I 
need a CDROM to actually install Fedora, and I'd rather not buy an 
additional controller....

Thanks for the help!
