That simply is not true!

You *can* use the normal graphical install cd with raid and lvm
configurations. I do that all the time.

You just have to install raid and lvm2 inside the livecd session before
you start the installation.

Some of my Delicious bookmarks may be relevant:

... and many more on Google ;-)

Please read these documents carefully and make sure you understand them.
Don't follow them to the letter because every configuration is different!
I assume that the topicstarter won't have a lot of problems if he
already knows how to do it in Debian.
