I did this just the other day, although not using LVMs, just ragular
old-school partitioning - I find those confusing and difficult to tweak later.

I'll mail the steps I did in the morning thursday; am home now and don't my
notes here. It's not that difficult, unless you start from LVMs on your old
drive...
