Good point about RAID0.
I know linux's implementation of RAID0 is with the MD program. Do you
know if that's fully functional, and if so, is there a Debian package for
it? How is it used?

If you use dpkg it's perfectly acceptable to put the files in /usr,
rather than /usr/local.

Jens,
I suspect that LILO is still booting your old (slackware) kernel from the
hard disk. If you do "cat /proc/version", does it say 2.0.6 ? LILO is able
to boot files that have been removed, even after a new filesystem has been
created.

Disks should serve filesystems, not raw blocks. There have been attempts

I made the same mistake that Joshua and Hakan made. The READMEFIRST file
in /usr/doc/lilo gives two possible fixes:
- In linux you can remove lilo from the master boot record with:
lilo -U
- In MSDOS you can remove lilo by:
fdisk /mbr
The lilo -U fix did not work for me since

The "msdos" filesystem is used where compatibility with DOS is important.
It is a low-performance filesystem. The "vfat" filesystem is the one used
by Windows 95, and has long file names and good DOS compatibility, but is
also low performance. Don't use either of these as your root filesystem.
