Simple question on installing Ubuntu on auxiliary SATA drive...

[Kevin Chan]

This is just to report that I've successfully installed Ubuntu on my 
AMD64 machine (w/nForce3 250Gb motherboard). I took Colin's advice and 
used the 9/22/04 daily build of the warty-amd64 cd and it detected my 
SATA drives this time. Everything went super smoothly. Even the onboard 
Marvel gigabit ethernet controller worked without my having to install 
the nVidia network drivers (and that never happened when I installed 
gentoo).

Thank you, Colin, for the help and advice!

Ubuntu looks to have a lot of promise! Very well-done! I like it a lot!

Best regards,

-Kevin
