I need a dual boot DOS and Linux box. Before LVM, I just installed
a
Linux distro (Ubuntu or Fedora), then gparted the ext down to make
room for FreeDOS.
Opps, that's not totally true in retrospect - sometimes I left some
unused space when I installed a distro so I could come back with
FreeDOS. However, I couldn't control the size of the physical
partition that was created for LVM when I did the Fe7 install. No
matter what size I specified, it took the entire remaining free space.
