Hu? I installed Woody (bf24) on a couple of DL380G3 without a hitch - the cciss works just fine and you can of course boot from it. The only "special" thing I do is to load the module for the installed NIC (Broadcom bcm57xx - tg3.o) so I can download a new kernel as soon as the base-system is installed... > I don't want to put too much time into this; our company has a lot of > Compaq/HP and I've been asked to find out how hard it is to install > Debian.
