If you use the dvd approach, just before you are going to partition
using the GUI that installes LVM do this:
1. type: ctl-alt-F2 - which will take you toa terminal.
2. execute : fdisk /dev/sdx <- x is a, b.etc depending on your disks
3. Partition your disk.
4. type: ctl-alt-f7 (it may be f6 or f8) which will take you back to the
installer.
5, Continue installation without LVM.
