If there's documentation on this process, I couldn't find it after 
substantial searching. That being said, here's how you do it, basically 
(from memory):

+ During the partitioning segment of the install, choose manual, and 
create partition(s) on the disks being used for RAID,

+ Define the RAID(s),

+ After that, select a given RAID. The next screen has an option to 
define it as part of an LVM volume group.

After that, you have an LVM configuration option. The installer handles 
all of it, it is just kind of hidden.

I have it running right now - one logical volume for root, one for /tmp 
(so I can mount that noexec). Can always resize and split off volumes 
later, but now it is done.
