Public bug reported:
Kubuntu 8.04 beta - live CD
At least as of 8.04 beta, the desktop live CD does not include "dmraid".
Since "fake" raid is becoming quite common, and dual booting is unfortunately
still too common, it would be useful to be able to install Ubuntu on a shared
"fake" raid volume.
This is currently quite straightforward provided one knows the necessary steps:
- "apt-get install dmraid" to the live environment
- "fdisk /dev/mapper/..." to one's desired partition structure
- "mke2fs -j /dev/mapper/..." and mkswap "/dev/mapper/..." to build the
filesystems
- correctly configure Ubiquity (currently there's a bug: /dev/mapper/...
partitions with a filesystem are listed twice)
- "chroot /target" and "apt-get install dmraid" to the target installation
Since most of the support is already in place (grub installs nicely, for
example), it would be helpful if dmraid was included in the live cd:
this would remove the first and last steps from the list - which
incidentally are the only ones to require an internet connection :-p
