LVM - Install F9 without LVM

[rwhart at mchsi.com]

Peter,
  I might give it a try since I have clean HDs.  However, I was of the understanding that /boot could not reside on a logical volume (ref. fedora 9 install notes on fedora.redhat.com.  From your comments it appears that /boot can reside on a logical volume without difficulty.

  Thanks to all others who responded also.  Note that manually I could not delete the Logical Volume.  Did not try to change it.

Bob.
