It does not support raid or LVM, on 8.1 it also had the tendencxy to mount one of the mirrors of your root partition, instead of the whole mirror i found easier to recover from problems with raid/lvm by booting the mandrake cd in install mode and switching to a shell as soon as possible. regards L. -- Luca Berra -- bluca@comedia.it Communication Media & Services S.r.l. /"\ \ / ASCII RIBBON CAMPAIGN X AGAINST HTML MAIL / \
