Bug Description
Hi,
I usuall install Kubuntu over LVM (possibly encrypted) using the live CD, because I find creating the LVM manually (would be nice if the live CD could include the lvm2 and cryptsetup packages, they're rather small and it would save me to "aptitude install" them each time and have to chroot to finish the install on the destination HD to add lvm2 again...) then performing a "live CD install" is faster and easier rather than using the "alternate CD", so I first manually create the LVM and volumes and then install on it doing a normal "live CD install".
I've found out that the Kubuntu live CD installer manual partitioning tool cannot install on LVM volumes (it doesn't properly recognize them) if they haven't been previously mke2fs'ed or mkswap'ped, but it's OK if they have been.
Would be nice if the partitioning tool could recognized LVM volumes even if not populated with a filesystem (as it will mkfs them later on anyway)...

I second this bug.
Everytime I install Ubuntu/Kubuntu on LVM I have to use alternate CD. :-( This makes at least two 700 MB images I have to download on each Ubuntu release (desktop & alternate, double that if I choose to download both Ubuntu & Kubuntu).
