If you're planning to put your / on a LVM partition, bf2.4 won't help

Karsten has put up a Debian-Chroot-Install howto (don't have exact
address handy) on his site <http://kmself.home.netcom.com/>, which would
let you install onto a small, temporary partition, from which you can
set up the LVM partition and migrate your / to.
