	Paul:

	In /dev you will see a directory named VolGroup00
(if FC4 is also lvm, you might have Volgroup01 too!). Inside that is a
file: LogVol00 (not sure but you might have more files if FC5 has
separate partitions for  /, /var,/home etc.)

Make a mount point for FC5: mkdir /media/fc
then: mount /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 /media/fc

You will need to be root for these commands.
