when I was installing red hat, long ago... I had to make a kickstart CD
with specialized boot STUFF.. the program that created that file was...
an .EXE . go figure..

I remember way back in RH 3.4, maybe 3.3 ... I was doing an
installation, and they added these ( for that time) HUGE 2 TB drives..
the install choked, and I found out that we needed a newer version of
RHEL to recognize 2TB partitions... which wasn't certified on our
application. I had similar issues with PERC raid controllers.. ah the
good old days:)
