| Greetings
System contains 3 HDD units (IDE)
o/s will be debian stable
planning on installing the o/s and ancilliaries on one HDD partition as
per my normal build plan.
The remaining two drives are to be combined to provide one logical storage
device. This is the bit I'm not sure about.
Tell me please, what is the 'debian way' to produce the desired result?
Thanks for reading.

RAID and/or LVM.

Usually, download and burn a debian-installer cd, boot from it and
follow instructions. That's the Debian way

I am confused. What do you want to do? Join the two disks? Why? Just
let the installer recognize the disk and offer you an installing
option. If you are not ahappy with that, you can select "Guided
partitioning from the menu".

I would question the RAID - unless it's done by hardware.

Thanks chaps - LVM does the job just fine.
