as I have written to this list on 21 May 2006 21:19:28 +0200 under 'install-mbr on amd64?' grub does work well with RAID1. To enable booting from all disks in the RAID, you just need to run 'grub-install /dev/xxy' where xxy is, e.g. hdb or sdb, depending on your system, after you installed grub within d-i. Or, as written in the Software-RAID HOWTO: call grub and type: grub>device (hd0) /dev/xxy grub>root (hd0,0) grub>setup (hd0) If you do not plan extraordinary boot related things, both, lilo or grub, should work for you. To a large degree it is a matter of taste (no flamewar, please). Alexander -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
