    Hi

    Moments ago I finished installing Sarge on my new machine. Almost
    everything went fine but apparantey I have made some mistakes.

    I opted to manually partition my disk and have created 3 primary
    partions: /boot, / and a third partition I set up for LVM.

    I then used the LVM tool to create a Logical Group and several Logical
    Volumes within that group.

    However I did not see how I could set the filesystem or mount point for
    those LV's so now /usr, /var are created on / in stead of on one of the
    LV's and I have no swap (I wanted to set that up as an LV as well.

    I cannot start partman and lvmcfg (command not found) after the
    installation so I don't know how I can create (ReiserFS) filesystems on
    these LV's and how to move the contents of /usr and /var to those
    partitions after they are formatted.

    What are my options?

    TIA

    Bram
