So, unless I'm missing something, looks like a "no". The one chance would be if you can go to the shell VT at the screen before the partitions are detected and use fdisk and mdadm to create the md partitions, then jump back and have the detected as you go into disk druid. (You should be able to create them, but I'm not sure if disk druid will find them when you get back). -- Les Mikesell les@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
