Sure it does. You make a partition on one drive, then select 'use this partition for' and pick raid. Repeat for other drive, then select 'setup raid'. That's how you set the type. I have done raid1 setup with the sarge installer on two drives, and I even setup lvm on top of the raid. The new partition tool really works rather well, even if it isn't the most intuitive interface. I doubt being PPC should make a difference although I haven't done an install on one. It would be silly if they use a different partitioning tool than other architectures. Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
