already an Soft RAID config on them. I'm trying to re-purpose them. But the
installation can't remove the RAID configuration. It would be nice to have
an option to remove all RAID partitioning before the partitioning happen.
Anyway, I tried removing that stuff with Gparted... failed. mdadm
--zero-superblock fails. So.. waiting for the long dd -if=/dev/zero on them
and hopefully this md2 array won't show up on next install!

Is this supposed to be that complicated?
