I'll drop a few lines on this.
The graphical cdrom installer works just nice, but I usually do my
installs from an http server set up for that. Trying the netboot floppy on
the CD and expert mode (allows selecting media) IIRC let me use the
network install but *do not have RAID creation* in them. The graphic cdrom
install lets me have RAID (very easy) but not network install =).
I don't know if this makes a difference and it's definately not
amanda-specific, but thought I'd mail it.
If only it let me define pv's and LVM at the same time =)
