[indiana-discuss] installation in 640 x 480

[Clay Baenziger]

 	Well I'm not sure of a timeline for the Adaptec drivers. Certainly 
you can create your own Indiana distro with the Adaptec drivers from 
Solaris, or else, if you have a spare USB or IDE hard disk that's another 
possibility to install the current Indiana release. Otherwise, the next 
Indiana release is slated for the Spring '08 timeframe.

 							Thank you,
 							Clay
