About "installing FC5_64 with LVM" document

[Stephen Liu]

Hi folks,

Where can I find a document on "How to installing FC5_64 with LVM". 
Google search found;

LVM HOWTO

How to install Gentoo with LVM
http://fnord.no/sysadmin/gentoo_lvm/
etc.

Is LVM2 running on FC5_64 or LVM1 ?

TIA

Do you really need one?  In the installer, just make a partition and
give it type "LVM".  Then make some volumes inside of it.  That's
pretty much all there is to it.

LVM1 is pretty old; FC tends to keep up with what's current, and has
had LVM2 since FC2, I think.

Why use documentation for a different distribution when there's an FC5
installation guide available?
