Comments/Problems: My motherboard is set up for SATA drive, but I only have an IDE.  Hard Drive and CD sit on same IDE channel and are in a weird configuration on cable (HD at one end, MB connection in middle, CD at other end.)  HD is set to master, CD set to Slave.  Do I need to fix the order on cable?  I am new to linux and tring it out on an extra computer I own.  Any tips would help.  I used my laptop to download CD image.  I could use LAN to instal OS or Flash drive, but I don't quite know how, the manual is a bit confusing sometimes.
