Thanks to both of you.  I started to install redhat 7.3 using Dax's howto,
when i learned that the box was going to be a fairly full service
departmental webserver in the near future.  So instead of making the box
into a linux toolbox, I went ahead and restored the RaQ 4i image to the
drive and got it running as a RaQ4, instead of a CacheRaQ4.

Thanks,
mike
