OK now here is the easy/hard part. I recommend you set up disk partitions without using the default lvm setup. Heres how.
AT At the partitioning point of the f14 Fedora 14 installer:
1.go to the bottom and select “Create Select '''Create Custom Layout” Layout''' and click “next”'''Next'''.2. on the new screen Next delete ''lv-root '' and ''lv-swap '' by selecting one at a time and clicking '''delete'''. 3. Next Also delete “vg_xxxxxxx” '''vg_xxxxxxx''' the same way by clicking on it and hitting '''delete. ''' (Note: the xxxxxx is different on every machine). 4. Now delete '''ALL ''' partitions under hard drives. Now you will see free space the size of the drive.5. Click on the free space and click create'''Create'''. On the menu select “standard partition”'''standard partition'''. go Go to file system type and click “Swap.” '''Swap''' (if you have over > 2GB of ram and plenty of HDD space give , make it at least 1GB or so “Fixed” '''Fixed''' size. I myself have 1 GB reserved but I have never had to use it. Hit '''OK'''.6. Click create '''Create''' again, and we will make a ''/boot '' mount point. Click free space, click create'''Create''', “Standard Partition” '''Standard Partition''' under mount point select ''/boot” boot'' file system type is “Ext4” '''Ext4''' you should be ok with 500MB here. I would not go under 200 or so. Click '''OK'''7. ok now the The last one. Your ROOT partition. I would make it the rest of the disk. Just click free space, and create '''Create''' one more time. Under mount point select ''/under ''. Under file system type select “EXT4” '''EXT4''' under leave the size box along and select “Fill '''Fill to Maximum allowable size” size''' that will use up the rest of the disk, and give you plenty of room for a landing zone if you plan to use greyhole. 8. Click '''NEXT ''' and select “Write '''Write Changes to Disk”Disk'''.
