Do "ls -l /dev/mapper/"  the results will print out the controller and
any paritions currently (indicated by p#).

Make sure you do sudo and do "sudo fdisk /dev/mapper/(array)" with no
parition #.

Setup your partitions you will do 2 (or more).  On my 160GB Mirror I did
P1 as 150GB (linux format 83) as a primary.  And I did an extended 10GB
as swap (linux format 82).

Once they were made; I wrote the changes and had to reboot.  Boot back
to the CD and do "ls -l /dev/mapper/"  again.  It should show P1 and P5
along with the controller.

Then I had to do "sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/mapper/(array)(p1)"  Make sure you
select P1 (parition 1).  Again I had to reboot after else the installer
wants to format the parition.

Boot back into the CD and when you get to the install part for
partitions choose manually.  Select the ext4 you created and put a mount
point of "/".  Uncheck the format box if it checks.  When you get to
stage 8; make sure you point the grub installer to parition1 NOT
/dev/sda.
