If you have a hardware raid controller and wish to use hardware RAID, you need to configure the RAID controller to use hardware RAID 1 and then the edubuntu install should just see the RAID disk. How the RAID setup is done depends on the raid controller, it may include booting off a raid config cd. If you want to use software RAID, you don't do anything in the BIOS, you install edubuntu as normal, then as far as I can recall: 1. When you get to partitioning, choose manual partitioning 2. Partition the two disks, creating an identical partition on each for each RAID-1 partition you want to create. Set the partition type to linux/raid. 3. choose Configure software raid. 4. configure new raid array devices pairing off the partitions you created above, setting them to be mounted in the right way and with the right filesystem. At one time with software raid you couldn't have /boot as your first partition (first needed to be /). This problem is probably fixed now but it might be no harm to bear it in mind. http://osdir.com/ml/ubuntu.devel.edubuntu/2006-12/msg00034.html Gavin -- edubuntu-devel mailing list edubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/edubuntu-devel
