Good afternoon,
Though I use XFCE on my netbook - and very pleased with that, by the
way - I have been trying to also use the LiveCD to help me fix a LILO
and RAID configuration on a desktop system.

Could somebody put me right? Putting the XFCE LiveCD into the desk
and rebooting, what should I then do for it to see the existing XFS
partitions and mount a filesystem (even if only for inspection, that
would be a help so I can do some checks)?
(I'm not expecting detailed RAID advice here - I'll happily ask on
the RAID list if I need that - I just want to 'see' the existing
drives and files using the LiveCD I already have.)
Very grateful for any pointers,
Well, since Fedora/RHEL have not used lilo in a long time, I assume
this is another distro? I would suggest using rescue media for that
distro. It would be better suited to mounting things and letting you
fix lilo.
The details for how to mounting the system depend a lot. Is it lvm?
does Fedora even see the raid?
