[ale] live cd for partitioning LVM partitions.

[Lightner, Jeff]

I don't understand why you'd need to boot to redo LVM layouts.   The main point in LVM is that you can add/delete/resize things as you desire without impacting other parts of the layout as compared to standard partitioning.  You can even rename a VG or LV if you want so "relayout" shouldn't really be necessary.
