For what it's worth, I discovered last month that the new Debian installer--if you select LVM & automatic partitioning--will put every partition except for /boot under LVM and will size all of the partitions you mention above automatically. In fact, I was surprised at how small the LVM volumes were for some of these, but so far everything is working with their suggested sizes. I would suggest doing a trial install with the new Debian installer and see how it goes. cmr -- Debian 'Etch': Registered Linux User #241964 ---- "More laws, less justice." -- Marcus Tullius Ciceroca, 42 BC -------- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
