Plus it'd be really nice to be able to fix things on LVM partitions from a bootdisk.

I was afraid I'd have to do that. The current problem I've had building such a bootdisk is that lic6 is really big and all of the bootdisks I've seen so far get around this by removing runctions from libc6 and then the LVM tools don't work. -- Jon Schewe | http://mtu.net/~jpschewe For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. - Romans 8:38-39
