Just so you know.

T100 - Intel processor
T105 - AMD Processor

Thought I would clarify.

I know that the Dell T100 by default does not provide a Raid card, but does the Orgasmatron III ISO provide a software based Raid?

If there is no Raid support SW or HW, what is the best use of the 2nd internal drive?

 

[wardmundy]

RAID isn't supported at this point. There's no reason you can't make a backup of the first drive, swap the drives around, and restore to the second drive. Then you have a hot spare.

I'm a little frustrated because I paid the $10 for the Orgasmatron III image thinking that it would easily work with my T105 that I bought a while back. My specs are identical to what I thought was the original box, except that it has 160GB drives instead of 80GB. It just dies when it tries to boot up (kernel panic). Since this is my first attempt at this, I thought I'd take the easy route, but that doesn't seem to be panning out. Any way to make the Orgasmo image work on my machine?

 

[wardmundy]

Sorry you're having trouble. Just install the PiaF 1.5 beta and then run the Orgasmatron Installer. That should get you going.

Can you still use mondo with raid?

I thought that mondo rescue was not available for raid. Can somebody confirm this?
