To work with lvm and debian on boot disks there are the following steps: - Create a rescue.bin and a root.bin disk from 2.4 kernel. There you should= =20 have possibilities to work with LVM - Download a file, which is called lar1440.bin from the internet and write = it=20 with cat lar1440.bin > /dev/fd0 to a seperate disk - Boot your computer with the two boot disks and follow the installation me= nue=20 til the step "partitionition the disks" (with the program cfdisk) - Create a swap and a root partition on the normal way, the rest of space o= f=20 the disk use type 8E, Linux LVM - then switch to a second console (for example with ALT + F2) - put the lar disk in your disk drive and type the command extdisk - now you can work with LVM tools Regards Stefan
