I have returned. Got a few questions about my new system (as you may have gathered, based on the Abit KT7a-RAID) - and am installing 2x IBM Deskstars for a RAID, now from what I have read (ArsTechnica forums) - you can't use that RAID in Linux - so I'm using the 15 Gig Maxtor from my old system (the only thing worth taking) for Linux - I was just making sure that Linux can't use the RAID array - and to run this by everyone for a setup.
Step one: Set up all the BIOS stuff, and format/install the RAID array, boot off floppy.
Step two: Install Windows 98SE to the RAID array, once completed - copy the contents of the 15 giger to the Raid-array
Step three: fdisk delete the 15 gig drive, then go to my SlackWare Linux disk and fdisk it. Install Linux and then LILO to the MBR, change BIOS to boot off the 15 gig now and have LILO setup to boot into SlackWare or Windows 98SE on the RAID.
Sound roughly correct? Any problems? Or is it possible to put Linux on my RAID array?
Thanks in advance,

anyone need me to join a [email protected] team to ruin their average speed? ^_^
