Doesn't Rick's response say you get that option when you choose "Replace
Existing Linux System(s)"?  I do not have an optical drive, so I can't
really boot and check.  Or could it be that Anaconda has problems
because your LVM is encrypted?

Just to be absolutely clear: on both the original system, and on a second
system (to confirm), I have very carefully gone through every partitioning
option, and checked that *none* of them recognise the existing partitions
in the encrypted volume. But note also that just before reaching that stage,
anaconda prompts me for the password for sda2, so in principle it has the
information needed to retrieve that partitioning data.

Do you have an unencrypted volume around?  This could be a bug; as far
as I recall Anaconda used to have trouble with encrypted volumes
sometime in the past.  This could just be a regression.

So what's the upshot here?
Can the vg home partition be preserved in a fresh install of Fedora 17 to replace fedora 16?
