I've now managed to remove the LVM partitions from my system, install
Kubuntu on a separate partition and move all my data over to the larger
drive.

There's just a few things I need sorting:

1) When booting into Fedora, it still tries to look for the LVM partitions,
how do I stop it trying?

2) I'm not 100% sure I've got GRUB set up correctly, could someone post the
last few lines of their IIRC init.1st so I can make sure mine is correct.

3) How do I ensure that both Kubuntu are using the same numbers for their
users and groups?
