You need at least one partition to make the physical volume for LVM. Additionally, I would do this: /dev/hda1: XX MB (swap) /dev/hda2: 64 MB (/boot) /dev/hda3: 512 MB (/) /dev/hda4: the rest (LVM PV) I suggest that because having /boot and / on an LVM logical volume can get to be a pain when it comes to booting. -Roberto -- Roberto C.
