Yes, that is what I will be doing; but it is not the same as the "companion"
and hence less familiar to me.  Also the wiki certainly does help.
I haven't studied the raid+LVM closely yet but a quick look didn't
reveal how to interrupt the installation, shut off the machine, and
continue later.

Nonetheless, it is doubtless all there; just a loss of familiarity.
