Isn't there a interactive tool for creating LVM partitions? I remember doing it that way when installing Debian on an old PC once, so there must be. I remember it was really easy to use. Can it be used separately from installing the entire system from scratch? Does it handle LVM2? Does it handle RAID-1 setup as well, or, failing that, can it place the logical volumes on a RAID drive? And, does it work on an AMD-64 kernel? -- hendrik
