Sorry about the previous post. Fumbling fingers sent the mail by mistake.
I've just installed a software raid SuSE 9.1 server and it was a breeze.
When the installer arrives at the partitioning phase, look around in the (advanced?) dropdowns and there's an option to make partitions of type RAID.
FWIW, I created two identical swap partitions (one on each drive) and then created the RAID partition on the first drive. The installer then asked and auto created the identical partition in the other drive.
Don't know if it's this simple in previous SuSE versions.

Its been that easy since (at least) 8.2, and I've been running the same software raid since 7.2. Back in the 7.2 days I set it up with the howto rather than yast. Its virtually bullit proof. I use raid 1 (mirroring) only. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
