No, the basic disk structure created by the partitioner has separate LVM partitions for /root and
/home. I wanted to combine them to a single LVM partition. I failed
miserably. It does not make much sense what I wanted to do but I was
frustrated that  I couldn't  do it. What I really wanted to do is to
have the partitions other than swap in a single partition. I got that
done but I am apprehensive about being able to do it again on my laptop
which also has a Windows XP partition. I find the whole GUI partitioning
application confusing.
