[Sheflug] Hard Disks, Partitioning and Distrubutions!



Hiya,
       I don't want to cause an arguement, but I don't like many of the current distrubutions. Mostly due to the amount of software and set up of some of the software. I have tried such as SuSE 7.1 on minimum but I still don't like it. I know I can alter it then but i'd prefer to install everything myself, well almost. I have looked at linuxfromscratch.org but not sure if I want to install from nothing, prefer an initial system.
 
    Ok the real question is, is there a simple (up to date) distrubution that gets a basic system on with say a command line and a gcc? I can get the rest installed, I don't want 250mb of software on as an initial install of a distro.
 
    The second point is, I have a computer with 5 2Gig SCSI drives (Running on Adaptec 2940) and a 100mb IDE disk. So I need to boot of the IDE disk and then use the SCSI for the rest. Going to be run as a general purpouse Server for myself, while I work mainly (SORRY) on a Windows 2000 computer which uses the Server.
 
    Can anyone please advice me on mount points etc, just never set Linux up on multiple hard disks...
 
    Thanks,
 
    Steve
