Thanks for all the previous replies. Another small question.

I currently have Windows on this laptop. I will also have a 7 GB FAT32 
partition so that data can be exchanged between windows and Linux. If this 
FAT32 is inside the same volume group as that of /, will it still be 
accessible from windows? or does lvm in some way shield the FAT32 partition 
from windows?

thanks
