Well, I see your point. Technically it's not that difficult to modify the CD 
to bring back RAID0. I'll put it on the list. Although I hate to see 
the "inputless" install go away, as we now have to add a menu when more than 
1 drive is detected ("Do you want RAID0 or RAID1?").

Yeah, RAID10 is a bit of a mess - not only with RHEL5 or CentOS5. The CentOS 
kernel supports RAID10 out of the box since a while, but the CD installer 
Anaconda doesn't. So the CD can't be used to set up a software RAID10 - 
unless you do a lot of dirty tricks. 

Can't really comment on RAID5, as I haven't used that in years.
