Hi, I have used the alt-install 12.04 disk many times to make use of the plentiful amount of hard drives I have lying around. I usually do a raid zero on then and after this the installation works flawlessly.
To the point: my friend wants to figure out how one could have more space and a marginal increase in speed by using two flash drives in a similar manner. I am not sure how exactly this would work, even though the concept seems similar. Of course I tried it in the standard fashion by using the alt install disk. It did indeed get very far, and installed the entire ubuntu operating system. It failed when installing the bootloader, though, with a generic error. I have usually used lili to install bootloaders for USB drives, so I am not sure if the error is due to the raid array or just the fact that it is on a usb device.
Does anyone know anything I could try to get this to work?
Thanks for reading.
