You could, if you like torture. :-) Though seriously, it would
work. It just wouldn't be full of up-to-date software.<br>

For non-standard (e.g., RAID or very complex LVM setups) I usually
install the system one way, and then modify it post-installation.
It just works out better than trying to trust that the programmers
got everything right.<br>
<br>
At least, for OS installers in general.<br>
<br>
It seems to hold true with the RH family, though, too.<br>
