Get rid of windowz.

[Maciej]

Well how do I find out whether I am using LVM or not? The lvm command
seems to work I get the lvm> prompt.

And second one: I updated my system, all the software and downloading
all the stuff took hours to me. Is there a possibility to backup the
updates and use them again if I have to reinstall the whole system?
