Is it possible to turn off disks selectively?
I am about to reconfigure my Suse 10.3 box for more storage (1TB) with an extra disk. At the same time I was considering adding two older disks (Seagate 80 & 120 PATA) for use as backup drives.

SLED 10 Repositores are Gone
Using the Suse.com and openSUSE.org sites I've identified the unstable repositores for Suse Enterprise Linux Desktop 10 (SLED 10).

When attempting to add these repositores I... 13 Jan 2008 02:36
