RE: [cobalt-users] Adding hard drive space to a Qube 2

["Doug Forman" <doug@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dwight,

Let me save you some time:

(1)  Don't consider a 2nd hard disk - for power and heat reasons.

(2)  Don't consider a replacement hard disk > 32gb (linux 2.0.34 doesn't
support it)

(3)  Read the article in my series "The Road to Qube2" which describes my
experiences replacing the 4.3gb hard disk in my Qube2.
http://weblogs.userland.com/qube/discuss/msgReader$173

Bottom line:  I have a 27.2gb replacement hard disk in my Qube2, and it
works great - but it's *not* a walk-in-the-park making it happen...

Happy Qubing,

Doug
