Somewhat OT: IMHO one thing that makes installing Fedora harder than it needs to be for the majority of users is the default use of LVM. I've been using Fedora since before it was Fedora, and have *never* had a situation in which LVM was any use to me. [....]
On this we can agree. My last F11 install blew up because of a problem with LVM. I don't "do" LVM because I've got a fairly minimal computer.

I have one more, and the most critical machine on which to replace F11 with F12 -- and I picked up a hint the other day that LVM was the reason I kept being unable, by any means I could find, to increase the size of /boot. I would like very much to get rid of LVM -- but have no clue how.
I know Anaconda offers an option to *hide* LVM, but I don't recall any choice to eschew it entirely. Am I just having a memory lapse?
If not, would some kind soul please explain to this subtechnoid how to do it?
