SA8300HD DVR - Additional Recording Space
Used a NexStar 3 External SATA Hard Drive Enclosure from
Vantec and put in a WD 500GB 7200 RPM drive. I think the SA
box has a 125GB drive because it went from 97% filled to 21%
with the addition of the 500GB drive. The sata cable that
comes with the NexStar works fine. First unplug the power to
the cable box, connect the esata drive, then power up the
esata drive. Plug the cable box back in and let it
reboot. Once it's rebooted (time appears again), turn it
on. It should display a message asking if you want to format
the drive. Click yes (takes only a few seconds). Once this
is done, reboot the cable box again.

Sendmail hangs on Redhat 9
Need to use FQDN in these files:
/etc/hosts /etc/sysconfig/network
Redhat on Compaq Presario 5150
The biggest problem was getting the second ethernet
configured. Had to manually create the
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 file along with
modifying the /etc/modules.conf file:
alias eth1 ne options ne io=0x240
