Honest - it's a stock PowerEdge 1300 as shipped from Dell. I haven't 
messed with the setups at all. As far as not having a primary controller 
- that seems consistent with what the BIOS setup utility is telling me: 
nothing for the primary. All I can figure is that since I have an Adaptec 
SCSI board, the primary slots are left open for an IDE hard disk. I'll 
contact Dell just to make sure, and if there's no outstanding reason not 
to, I'll switch it over to the primary slot, avoiding CSEL if possible.

Hopefully everything will go well from there. I'm getting tired of having 
to manually use passive FTP for installing ports (I'm behind a firewall).

Thanks for all your help, and (no oofence) hopefully you won't be hearing 
from me again anytime soon.
