- Striped disks can be partitioned. You can't stripe the root disk,
- however, so you will need another disk. You might get along with a
- fairly small one, though; 200MB should be plenty, I think it could be
- done with as little as 100MB, but standard installation procedure
- probably wouldn't work with that. Try how small you can make
- the system on the 1.3GB disk you have; you can remove quite a lot
- of stuff, i.e., everything not needed for boot and mounting
- the striped disk, which can then contain everything else.
