12.04 and RAID

[Mike Holstein]

Its arguable if going to a live cd is a step forward or back, but its the
step that has been taken.. ideally, we will have both live and alternate..
would you like more information on how to help with the develpoment and
maintenance of an alternate iso? As of now we are focusing on the live cd,
and there is an arguably acceptable way to get what you need. Let us know
if you need more assistance or have more constructive criticism.
