.... I am fixin' to build a new machine at work, Intel i7 based, 12 GB 
RAM, planning on CentOS 5.3 at the moment. The mbd 
(http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128374) has an 
onboard Intel ICH10R south bridge, w/ onboard (F)RAID support. If the 
boss sez OK, I'd like to use 4 X 2.5" 250 GB HDD's in a RAID10 (RAID0 of 
2 2X250 GB RAID1's) for the system disk. Questions:


1. Will I need to setup the 4 disk RAID in the BIOS before install, or 
can/will anaconda deal w/ that on the fly ?
2. Can/will anaconda deal w/ setting things up to boot from that setup 
after install ?
3. Any other gotcha's :-) ?

TIA ....
