I guess I got mine from the handbook back in early 2003.  That is when I
did my first install.

Also, as I stated, I have / and /boot on regular partitions and
everything else on LVM.  Care to guess why I don't have / on a LVM too? 
Yep, to avoid the init thingy.  I don't have /boot on LVM because grub
didn't support it.
