My system never used LVM, and it always spends a moment checking to see
if there are any at boot time. You may want it to continue to do such
checks, in case you do plug in a drive set up to use LVM, later on.

init.1st isn't a file that I have. Is that another filename for the
same thing as grub.conf or menu.lst? If so, mine's full of stanzas like
the following:
title Fedora Core (2.6.20-1.2933.fc6)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.20-1.2933.fc6 ro root=LABEL=/
initrd /initrd-2.6.20-1.2933.fc6.img

You can manually pick the UID and GID numbers when creating new users.
Doing a "ls -n /home" on one OS will show you what you've used. But if
you were doing this for anything more than a handful of users, you'd
probably want to do something programatically that looked at the
passwords file.
