DEVICE MAPPER RULEZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just did a REBOOTLESS INSTALL OF THE STOCK FEDORA 7 LIVECD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, so manually performing the mkinitrd that anaconda would have performed is 
giving me some trouble, but hey, it's 5am..., and I am 99% convinced that I can 
get it to work after I get some sleep.

But hey...  it works.  Now I'll get to work on writing some serious patches :)
