I do not know any Debian installation media with support for LVM. So I have installed just a Debian woody base with /boot ext2 16 MB swap /root reiserfs 200 MB I have added the LVM utilities and created the LVM partitions after having a running base system. Then I've mounted the lvs to mountpoints like /mnt/usr, /mnt/var, /mnt/tmp, ... next I've done a cp -aR /usr/* /mnt/usr/ and so on. next I've deleted the contents from /usr with rm -rf /usr/* and mounted usr_lv to mountpoint /usr. After doing this for all lvs and updating /etc/fstab I am ready to continue installation with package selection. Perhaps there are Debian boot floppy images with LVM support and anyone will tell us where to find them?! bye -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
