Base Installation

* Debian:
Installation of Debian Linux 2.0r3 on the I7K was quite straightforward -- I booted off the resc1440 boot disk and installed the rest from a CD-ROM using the DVD drive without any problems.

* RedHat:
"I have RedHat 5.1 installed from the DVD drive (actually, it even boots from it), no problems."
