Only slightly on topic, but perhaps I'll save someone some headaches...

I ran into "issues" installing on a system with a Mylex AccelaRAID 250 
(DAC960) controller.  The Mylex card only recognizes 7 partitions and 
DiskDrake insisted in creating something like this (it was a month or so ago 
so I may be a bit off...)
/boot   rd/c0d0p1
/       rd/c0d0p5
/swap   rd/c0d0p6
/home   rd/c0d0p7
/var    rd/c0d0p8
/usr    rd/c0d0p9

Of course rd/c0d0p8 & rd/c0d0p9 aren't valid so the mke2fs failed.  I ended 
up switching out to a console and using fdisk to create valid partitions and 
only then was I able to install LM7.2  Let's just say it was a minor pain in 
the @$$.
