Yes, it can do that. This is my partition layout, created in the 
Anaconda installer:
fdisk -l /dev/sda

Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1   *           1        5222    41945683+   7  HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda2            5223        5235      104422+  83  Linux
/dev/sda3            5236        8790    28555537+  8e  Linux LVM
