Opps, that's not totally true in retrospect - sometimes I left some unused space when I installed a distro so I could come back with FreeDOS. However, I couldn't control the size of the physical partition that was created for LVM when I did the Fe7 install. No matter what size I specified, it took the entire remaining free space.
