Hi Daves, I usually install to another partition and copy the whole debian distribution to my software-raid. Never experienced a problem so far. Of course you will have to edit /etc/fstab also. Pay attention not to copy the files in /proc (and /dev if you have a devfs enabled kernel running). I am not sure if lilo sets the root-device in the kernel image, it might be useful to have a boot-cd at hand and to take a look at 'man rdev' if the kernel fails to find its root-fs. hth stefan -- "boredom is not a burden anyone should bear" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
