My goal is to replace ALL the current 500GB disks with all new 1TB disks

installation and configuration.
I.e. If it were as simple as;
1. as suggested by Menno - install disks separately; create new RAID 1
with appropriate /boot & /
2. Copy entire contents of old RAID1 /boot and / to new RAID
3. remove old RAID, replace old for new.
4. Perhaps some bios fiddling and presto new disks.
that would be nice.
But somewhere in there I've got to transfer the system onto the new
RAID. Just haven't figured out how yet. Plus any other gotchas I don't
yet know about.

1. How do I go about rebuilding the RAID with ALL brand new disks
(obviously no longer the same disks, but now newer spec larger disks)
such that I don't lose not only the data but don't have to rebuild the
whole machine again?
Your goal isnt clear. Can you please elaborate?
