Comment 31 for bug 97655

I don't want or have windows installed. My original intent was to install
Ubuntu with LinuxMCE on a raid 5 configuration. I tried using software raid
but had issues on setting it up in the Ubuntu setup. When I choose create
md devices it says I only have 1 raid partition when it needs a minumum of
3. That's why I headed down the dmraid path. So you are telling me it can
be done as long as it's only a linux machine? That is great news. I guess
I will try again this evening when I get home from work.
