I have bought a new 15Gig disk and want to do a fresh install of
Debian on it. But I want to install it using logical partitions
installed on top of LVM. I doubt the current dbootstrap install
allows for this. To start with the 2.4 kernel is required to get the
LVM stuff. I have compiled my own 2.4 kernel succesfully and am
running this on my old drive currently. I somehow need the
installation program to boot using this kernel, and to allow me to use
LVM partitions. Any ideas on how to do this?
Alternatively, (and a better solution if possible), it would be nice
if I could somehow set the basics up of my new drive manually, while
booted on my old drive. For example, if I could install base2_2.tgz
myself, and set everything up myself. Any ideas on whether this is
possible?
Please cc any replies directly to me, as I am not subscribed to the
mailing list. (I haven't got enough disk space yet.)
Thanks,
Mark.
