The RH GUI has options for creating RAID partitions. I tend to create a
20MB partition for /boot, then a partition for swap, then another partition
for /. I haven't tried Swap on RAID yet, but there are ways to make it
work. Try looking through the archives, a google search will find them
(I've forgotten the URL). Later,
