Hi Bill!

Um, if you're talking about the manual partitioning in Anaconda, then
yes, you're correct, but if you explicitly delete the LVM/VG stuff from
the proposed partitioning scheme, that checkbox becomes greyed. Sorry,
that's what I had intended to say above, but I wasn't explicit enough.

Does anyone here besides me remember the large ad in (Byte???) from the
late eighties with a photo of Bill in it, advertising a C compiler
for DOS from a certain large corporation? :)

No, I'm not trying to insult you Bill, I'm just showing my age. We know
you're firmly in the FOSS camp.
