I made some private modifications to dbootstrap, adding a 'manual' option to the 'select partition' menus for "Initialize a Linux Partition" and "Mount a Previously-Initialized Partition". These allow the user to type in the path to the block device to be initialised/mounted when the device is not known by dbootstrap, as in the case of LVM logical volumes and MD devices. I was going to abandon them (because I didn't think they would be accepted into the Woody boot-floppies), but will share them if anyone is interested. > But for beeing able to install a system into lvm, I need a kernel with > LVM-support.
