I have just got a new 40 gig drive and would like to use it with my
current 20 gig drive in a software raid0 configuration.
Does the installer support setting up software raids during the
install, or do I have to set up the raid after installing mandrake to
space on the end of the 40 gig drive.
Thanks for any help.

p.s I apologise for sending the original message in Html
Daniel,
Thanks for trying, but this is still in HTML. It is, however, quite
readable. Which email client do you use -- maybe I or somebody else can
help you figure out how to turn off HTML. It can be confusing (and a
PITA).
But, we should try to help you with your main problem. Unfortunately, I
can't remember, even though I've recently been doing some installs of
Mandrake 8.1. It probably is supported.
I've also had occasion to attempt a RedHat 7.2 installation recently.
Setting up a raid system there is supported and very straightforward
during the install. (I'm afraid to say anything about it, because
anything I'm liable to say will probably be more confusing than if you
simply attempt it. IIRC, it's a two step process, you do something like
setup several partitions as raid partitions and then combine them, or
perhaps I have it backward, maybe you say you plan to have a raid
system, then designate which partitions will be part of the raid
system.)
Hopefully someone else can answer your question with respect to
Mandrake.
