Hi!

john mcpeek ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
 know how to set them up to work as one drive. I saw something about
 drive striping and I installed the leaner drive module. I need to know
 how I should format the drives and how to make it think two drives are
 really one.

It's explained in the Software-RAID mini-HowTo. Maybe you'd also want to
take a look at the Root-RAID-HOWTO.

Install mdutils, see man mdtab

You should look at the `mdutils' package.  Some time ago someone else
asked about this, you might want to check out the mailing list archives.
I don't know if it is possible to use this for a root partition.

HTH,
Eric
