I had a Pentium 166 with 1.6 gig and 1.2 gig hard disk. I installed Windows
into master however it is possible to install into slave but never done that and
then I installed RH Linux using disk druid with little trouble since I had to
figure out the check box for "allowable drives." I recall ending up selecting
"allowable drives" "hda & hdb" and it works well.
