   would you be able to be more specific about how anaconda is screwing up the
space calculation?  i would dearly love to be able to get this install done
and have multiple LVs, and i'm willing to be stupidly generous with whatever
logical volume is causing the problem since i can always go back later and
reduce the size.   or is it just not that simple?
