I personally hate auto-partitioning things (well, for that matter even auto-installing things). Don't bother with them... even if you want to, I'm sure most of these CD installers come with manual partitioning options. > I had that for a couple of years and it was more trouble than it was > worth.

I've been using LVM for over four years now and it works perfectly. I can add and remove physical hard drives whenever I want without worrying about repartitioning.
