Got all the way through the selection of packages. All those time

Since I know exactly how I want to lay out the partitions, is there a way I
can boot from CD, and get into Disk Druid to set the partitions and do the
formating. Then when I come to the install just select to keep the drive
how it is?
And I have to have LVM....
You could hit ALT-F2 and set everything up from the console by hand
(including formatting) and then just tell disk druid _not_ to format.
I haven't tried that, but it feasibly might work...
Do you mean right after booting off CD #1? alt-F2 does nothing F2 lists
options like linux askmethod.

Yes, if you are in X, you need ctl-alt-fkey to switch VCs. If you
aren't already in X you can do it with alt-fkey. Regardless, you have
to be a little farther along in the install before it works.
