    @Jay: You need to first go to the folder to which you saved the deb package.

    Previous versions wouldn’t pickup my Silicon Image SATA RAID setup. Only individual drives were shown with no option to select the stripe set. Is this fixed or is there a way to install additional drivers before the hard disk setup scan?
