Bob, choose manual partioning with disk druid. Check the box: "Allow me to review and make changes" or something like that. The you'll be able to see a single VolumeGroup that includes the Logical Volumes. Delete, first the Logical Volumes then the VolumeGroup. After that, create at minimum the following partitions: /boot, /, /home, and a swap partition. It depends what you wanna use the box for. If it is a desktop the previous scheme will work if it is a server use /boot, /, /tmp, /var /usr and a swap partitions. Personally I use LVM on my boxes on a couple of desktops like this scheme: /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol02 /home ext3 defaults 1 2 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap swap defaults 0 0 The advantage with this scheme is that I can easily resize my Logical Volumes when I need it without any disturbance and in an easy way. Think twice before that advantages/disadvantages of LVM before going for a classic partiton style. I even use LVM on an itranet I use on my job for almost five years and it works beautiful. Again, it depends what are you gonna use the box for.
