And if I had installed with conventional directories I would simply 
mount the other hard drive and extract the information I needed.

Yet another example of why I should not be installing with LVM, nothing 
I do gains anything from LVM, it is just another layer of unwanted 
complexity for this Fedora user.

I am sure your suggestions would help if I was inclined to pursue this.

Thank you,
