   i did that and had to dance around a bit to figure out how to allocate some   
   drive space in that damned LVM thing... once i got that going on a 2Gig volumn   
   the format and install went pretty fast... then there was another dance where   
   i have to make the CD not a boot option or remove the linked install iso...   
   finally the OS booted and then is taking forever for the install program to   
   finish the rest of its install tasks... the grey install window finally went   
   away after 5 minutes or so and nothing else has popped up yet... the virtual   
   CPU is maxed at 100%... it thinks it is an Opteron_G5 like all the other   
   VMs... that's also what's selected when i tell the VM manager to copy the host   
   system's CPU information... i have 1Gig of RAM allocated...   
      
   i have to go back and try doing it all again with a 40Gig virtual HD and see   
   if i can get through the LVM thing again... that's a tricky bugger...
