Yes :-).

Ack.  Thank you for clearing that up.

I've never been able to install a working copy of Linux on my PC, so I
don't know squat.

Linux cannot use the disks on my ATARAID controller, even though it
says on the box that the controller supports Linux.  Using the
proprietary driver, I can't recompile the kernel with eg. appropriate
sound card drivers and the open source ATARAID driver isn't up-to-date
with the metadata format.

I'm trying again now that DM and DMRAID has arrived, but (as is
probably apparent), I haven't got a clue what I'm doing :-)

Gerte, is there somehow that I can persuade you to build a new LiveCD
with dm-mirror support?

I would like to do it myself, but am a bit stuck since no Linux distro
will install on my PC :-/..
