RAW devices

[John Rowan]

The application I seek to run on FC4 requires raw partition support.  
RH9 had such raw devices defined but there is nothing like it from what 
I can see in FC4.  The vendor, Raining Data, will not support Fedora 
Core, recommeding clients purchase RHES instead.  On their user forum 
one person suggested to use White Box Linux or CentOS (his preference).  
I tried White Box some time ago but didn't have the time to invest in 
yet another distribution.  I have the same feeling about CentOS but if 
Raw partitions are not part of FC4 I guess I'll be downloading a new 
distro soon.
