We have been successful in installing RHEL4U6 ES from the ISO image
burned onto a DVD.  The T3400 was ordered with two drives, but not
in a RAID configuration.  The BIOS is set to AHCI/RAID (if signed), and
I believe the drives are NOT signed.

Otherwise, the big issue now is which Nvidia driver to use, the
one from DELL (100.14) or the one from Nvidia (169.09).  The machines
have the NVS295 cards in them.
