In my case, I want a raw LVM LV for a Xen virtual machine that will be 
setup on it.

The exercise here is that I am trying to automate, script and document 
all the steps... with the automating and scripting being the highest 
priority.

The goal is that, should the office be razed with yours truly in it, the 
owner can pick up a new server, the backups and my custom install DVD 
with an install script and follow the simplest directions possible to 
end with a ready-to-go server for his business.

So yes, I can do it post-install, but it's one more step he would have 
to worry about which I don't like. This shouldn't be too hard, I would 
think, so I would *much* prefer to set it up with the OS.
