I'm still downloading the DVD for FC5T2. I hope it does not require LVM 
exclusively. Are you saying that there is no way to make a selection for 
traditional partitioning?
You should join or post FC5T2 issues to the fedora-test list,
If no manual partition management is possible, file a bug against 
anaconda. You should be able to manage your partitioning scheme at will.
Thanks for posting the info.
