[RE]How to install onto pre-existing RAID-0 array

Hello,

If you have the live cd there should be an icon on the desktop that says install to hard drive. Run that (after activating dmraid of course).

Hello All,

I am interested in dual-booting Fedora and Vista on a RAID-0 array. My

system is an Abit NF7-S. I have a pair of Seagate 80Gb SATA drives

configured through a separate RAID BIOS as a single 160 Gb RAID-0 array. I

have installed Windows Vista Ultimate on the array, and I'd like to install

Fedora 8 on a second partition of the array.

I booted off of a Fedora 8 live CD and I was pleased to see that I could

activate my array using dmraid, and I was able to mount it as /mnt/raid0

from it's mount point (/dev/mapper/Sil_ ). That's great.

Now, for the hard part.. how do I actually install Fedora on the array? In

the past, I've had Fedora core 4 installed on the array with a

vendor-provided driver disk, but I have no such disk now. Is it simply a

matter of breaking out of the install screen to a prompt and activating my

array? Can dmraid recognize the presence of the array and install to it

automatically?

Thanks for all your thoughts & advice.

Tony
