yes I used the smartstart5.5 on my compaq proliant g1 (with no bios on 
it) and started the manual config to linux, however ubuntu sees it, but 
don't understand why fedora doesn't so i can't install it to anything.  
there is an advanced option for iscsi but don't fully understand it.  My 
belief from what i have read is that iscsi is a hard drive on another 
system not the one in the server i want to install on.  is this correct?
