I guess the best method for the setup is what I am after. I have recent
backup and once lvm is setup, restoring should not be an issue. The only
lvm setup I am running currently I created as part of the install
process on a Deb system. That was not too bad at all once I understood
the basic concepts. But, could the lvm structure be created using a
knoppix CD and then restoring data after that?

thanks,
