	<sigh> LVM is one of those things I've been hoping not to have to 
learn ....

	OK, I'd like to use it for exactly that. gparted says I have a /
boot partition way too small for preupgrade, and one other partition 
which it labels lvm2 -- though it also warns "Logical Volume Management 
not yet supported [by gparted? or ...?]"

	So how do I treble or quadruple my /boot?? (Nota Bene, of the 
methods at

How_to_use_PreUpgrade#Not_enough_space_in_.2Fboot neither has yet proven 
within my competence -- my eyes glaze and I descend into glossolalia,
