[Gllug] Linux Install and RAID (ABit KT7-RAID)

[Aladdin]

Thanks for the info, I will take a look at the link.  However, I think this 
might be a bit above me for now.  I'm just going to practice the basic set 
up, and get around to a reinstall later when I feel more comfortable with 
playing around with the Kernal.

I had to abandon the software RAID and reinstall, as it was too slow when I 
installed VMWare (as I need to have access to win98 every now and then, and I 
didn't want a dual boot system).

Cheers All,


Ian
