yeah, but i think im really close. I followed this guide: SATA RAID Howto - Ubuntu India
The only thing is i don't understand how to set the partitions up to /boot, /, /home, swap, etc. through gparted. I can't find an option anywhere to do this. I would have thought gparted was the same thing being used during the manual partition in the installer but its not, or its not set up the same. I did get gparted to make the partitions i wanted though, and i formated them in the terminal using "mkfs.". So ive got the partitions formated correctly and i know their name (ex. /dev/mapper/isw_ccjdedhaif_dark7 is the partition i want the /boot to go to, 8 is what i want / on, 9 is the swap, and 10 is /home).
I tried going through the installation again hoping that the error earlier was because it couldn't format the partitions, since i already did that manually. But it gave me the same error again.
I understand what the the guide wants me to do by mounting the partition i set to be my root and manually install using the terminal, but when i do that:
mkdir /target
mount /dev/mapper/nvidia_gahhaaab1 /target
I get:
only the root can do that
So thats where im stuck as far as that guide goes. I guess i need to figure out how to set the partitions to which mount point i want them to be but i can't seem to find that with google. If you got any suggestions, ill check back here. But i will post a thread in the ubuntu forums like you said.
