I don't think it's a matter of "most people."  The folks I was referring
to, in my original post about this, were what I call the drive by
folks--those who see mention on Distrowatch or Slashdot, and try it. 

Hrrm, did the old live CD do LVM, and would it allow you to remove those
and use a single partition?  I was never much for the LiveCD's, so I
don't know. 

I don't think it's bad that it's using ext4, I think a lot of people are
excited about trying it.  See our other discussions on the list about it
though.

out books and then they learn things.
