Sorry i was jsut wondering if anyone was READING the entire question... I would help if i could but i dont know, HERE :
The man would like to know how to install Debian having the Whole drive being a Software RAID, he wants to install CLEAN w/ the raid, now he has '/boot' [estimated about 30mb] now i dont see how u plan for him to install debian on a 30mb partition, remake a kernel and then setup the raid as part of the installation... Sorry, i just didnt like seeing the man ask a question 4 times and have people tell him to install a patch [which he CAN NOT install] to get a raid '/' working... - overid3 =) P.S. - trully sorry...
