You mean, how to modify the installation program for a Linux
distribution to allow the user to specify that (for example) some
filesystems should be on RAID5, using some list of drives they
specify? Frankly, I don't think that it is your responsibility.
If you're writing a RAID driver, then I think that for you to write
anything beyond the kernel driver and the user-mode tools to work with
it is service beyond the call of duty :-)

The source code to the Red Hat installation program comes on every
single Red Hat CD-ROM. It lives in the misc/src directory (if I
recall correctly).

In what way do you mean that Linux doesn't support the writing of
third-party drivers?
