So far as I can tell, it works fine and arch has no problem with amd K8 machines either. I have Tim Brennan's talking arch installed on a 1.5TB sata disk and that was something debian couldn't do. Slackware also had no problem with the sata drive either. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Jude <jdashiel-at-shellworld-dot-net> <http://www.shellworld.net/~jdashiel/nj.html>
