I needed to keep my LVM on Raid partition, because that was where my home was. That part worked great. It would seem to me a really bad idea to not have compatibility between the two. I only destroyed the /boot and swap partitions whilst I resized them (inside the partitioner inside the installer), and then told the partitioner in the installer to set them up as raid (you go into a raid submenu to create a raid device). The / (root) partition I asked the installer to reformat, but didn't change it -- Alan Chandler http://www.chandlerfamily.org.uk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
