I've been able to read a drive partitioned as LVM in Fedora on Ubuntu.<br>I believe you'll have to install lvm after installing Ubuntu. It would<br>be a good idea to make a note of your /etc/fstab settings for the LVM

<br>If you want LVM support in Ubuntu, just do a search on that page for<br>lvm. You'll find lvm2 and lvm-common will provide what you need. You<br>can also do these searches in Synaptic, but the website is faster.<br>

Sweet. ok i think I am convinced. So I think my last question is, how
do I keep all my movies images and details after the reinstall? Every
time I do a reinstall I have to manually redo my video manager
information. And since I have a lot of movies this is bigger then the
reinstall.<br>
