Thanks Roger,
The thread got quite long, I did skip back some of the posts but clearly
missed that one. Sorry to be a PIA.
Cheers Don

my email on 15/10 was quickly created from doing such an install in a vm
- while not up to the standard of a wiki article or for publication in a
real book, i thought that it would be enough for someone to follow.
here is what i wrote again:
early in the installation process when you get to the disk partitioning
stage, you do a manual partitioning, create your various disk partitions
on the first disk, and format type is NOT ext3 (or what ever you'd
choose) but "physical volume for RAID". then set up the second disk
with the same partition sizes. Before selecting "finish partitioning
and write changes to disk" go to the "configure software raid" entry
where you can "create md device" of RAID0, 1 or 5. This is where you
join up the matching partitions from the 2 drives. at this point you
can then select a RAID1 device and specify format type and mount point.
from there the installation is like any other - you slowly make a cup of
coffee and come back to your fresh distro.
Cheers,
Roger

Got my disks this afternoon.
Following advise I've got the alternative kbuntu CD.
When the disk set up option poped up there was an option for LVM set
up but not raid. Where is the RAID set up? Do I have to install the
base system first? Or was I meant to do a different install from the
first menu?
Anyone done raid on kb before?
Cheers Don
