Think really, really hard before trying this. Linux on an X86 doesn't have
an LVM aware bios and you cannot boot w/o LVM (e.g., HP's "-lm"). This
means that if you have any error at all in LVM you cannot boot.
A safer approach -- especially if you havn't used LVM before -- is to use
the first 2-3 partitions for /, swap and /var. This allows you to boot even if
LVM is down and fix most LVM problems. None of these partitions needs
to be large (e.g., 80, 64 & 320MB) and the remaining partition can be used
as a PV.
