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
