Hello Brett.......

I think it'd be a good idea to make a non-RAID /boot partition. It'll work on R1 but I'm not sure it's encouraged.
Yes the SUSE installer complains but with LILO it works without any problems. I will see maybe later I will repartition it. This is only a test server.
I didn't know you could put swap on RAID...but if you can, 2G is pretty large. How much memory do you have?
I have 1G of RAM and I will probably upgrade to 2G if necessary.
Consider also your upgrade path. If you do not want to overwrite your current system before first trying out a new version (suse 9.1 for example) you should create an additional partition (non-LVM) for a new system to be installed to. I am regretting not having done this on several of my boxes b/c I've heard sometimes the upgrade destroys config files, etc. It'd be easiest to just have two large (5-10GB depending on how loaded you like your system) partitions for system installs then the rest of the space for data, swap, and boot, all of which can be shared by any running linux distro. Toggle between them for seamless upgrades (until they become too small for the new distros in the future)
Yes I have read horror stories about upgrading to new release using YAST. I will test with APT for SUSE first because that seems to work good. If required I can add 120G drive for upgrade purposes. Thank you for ur reply. RS ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca
