The summary says it all. mdadm needs to be added to the livecd spec files and a line needs to be added to the livecd /etc/profile: alias pico="nano" Mdadm is _the_ tool for setting up software raid in Linux. It is the only one maintained by the official kernel md maintainer. The pico alias would make people who are used to the pico editor feel more at home or something.
old aliases: alias cp='cp -i' alias ls='ls --color' alias mv='mv -i' alias pico='nano -w' alias rm='rm -i'
mdadm is already on the livecd templates for 2004.1, and i commited the necessary changes for the aliases to catalyst cvs
