I'll put that onto the wish-list. :o)

Sounds good. Send me a kickstart script that does that and I'll add it. ;o))

But seriously: That RAID stuff has to go into a kickstart script, which then 
does the partitioning and which builds the raid arrays and/or LVMs. 

At the moment it's already a script with 220 lines and we "just" support no 
raid, RAID1 or RAID0+1 at the moment. The more we add to it, the more likely 
is that other things break. So this kickstart script needs to be tested very, 
very thoroughly whenever it's changed. Means: Add / pull disks, reinstall at 
least once for every RAID mode. If it fails, fix the script, roll up a new 
ISO and try again. And again, and again. Until it eventually works. :p

The current kickstart script was born after four or five days of trial and 
error. :o)
