Presumably, you could also set up an alternate / outside of LVM as an alternate (minimal, console-only) boot partition, to be used to resize those partitions under LVM control. It may waste a little disk, but it saves on having to keep around a rescue CD. > The default naive installation of Fedora Core puts all of the disk > into LVM except for a 100MB /boot partition.
