I really didn't prepare for lvm. I never used lvm before this so had no idea of lvm before.
Snapshots sound like an awesome idea. I would like to do a configured base install, create a snapshot, and modify (fork), the base for different things. With 20/20 hindsight. The default doesn't seem to have room. What are different solutions other debian/lvm users have used?
