Thanks, I wasn't aware that you could do this.  I assume you must use 
the alternate installer to pull this off?  I tried to use the alternate 
installer for my workstation here, but it couldn't handle both RAID1 and 
LVM at the same time.  It choked when I tried to put LVM partitions on 
my RAID1 mirror, hanging for many minutes with no response.  I had to go 
with CentOS5 instead because the installer seems better suited to 
dealing with LVM.
