We should stop doing that, LVM is mostly useless on desktop and pretty
much always useless on laptops.
I so agree, also the possibility of customizing the partitioning scheme
in text-mode (eg with systems with <= 512 MB RAM) sounds to me like a

and it works great. But I don't need LVM on those systems. My 0.02.
