Yes, that is what I will be doing; but it is not the same as the "companion" |
| 32 |
and hence less familiar to me. Also the wiki certainly does help. |
| 33 |
I haven't studied the raid+LVM closely yet but a quick look didn't |
| 34 |
reveal how to interrupt the installation, shut off the machine, and |
| 35 |
continue later. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Nonetheless, it is doubtless all there; just a loss of familiarity. |
