Yes, tnx, it did

For other readers:
Got two 10GB drives (old machine)
Boot with 10.3, 32-bit DVD
>From yast, partitioner:
Custom partitioning (delete everything)

Create, sda, primary, no-format, ID=0xFD (raid) start=0 end=100MB
Create, sdb, primary, no-format, ID=0xFD (raid) start=0 end=100MB
Raid, generate, raid-1 (some might select raid-0 or raid-5)
add sda1, sdb1 (md0) format with ext2, Mount-Point = /boot 

Create, sda, primary, no-format, ID=0xFD (raid) start=0 end=100MB
Create, sdb, primary, no-format, ID=0xFD (raid) start=0 end=100MB
Raid, generate, raid-1 (some might select raid-0 or raid-5)
add sda2, sdb2 (md1) No format, Mount-Point == EMPTY (default is /usr)

No need to set something to file-id LVM. (finds it automagically)
Select LVM, add physical volume md1
Create /, swap, /usr, /home (what ever you need)
.....

Tnx agn, hw
