Hi Bill, That one I thought of. I modeled SL7 in a virtual machine. It was no fun, but I pretty much got it figured out. I even figured out Wine32, which is up and working. The Sata / RAID problem and Osmo caught me totally by surprise. The envelope issue gobsmacked me. The weird Ethernet adapter names I knew was coming as I work with Fedora a lot. Fedora is RHEL before it is time. I guess you can't think of everything. -T
