Can anyone help me with a (doubtless) very basic question, over which I'm
tearing out what's left of my hair.

I'm pretty new to Red Hat ... I've installed Red Hat 7.3 as a server, on a
server. I've allpied someupdates so rpm -q shows ...

kernel-2.4.18-3
kernel-2.4.20-24.7

I'd like to enable, or install, LVM, as I'm an experienced LVM user on UNIX.

According to the LVM HOWTO:

>> The 2.4 kernel comes with LVM already included ...

I'm b******d if I can find it. The commands are nowhere on my system.
 rpm -q lvm shows

package lvm is not installed

>> .... although you should check at the Sistina web site for updates, (eg.
v2.4.9 kernels and earlier must have the latest LVM patch applied ).

Er, er, what does that mean?

>> When configuring your kernel look for LVM under Multi-device support
(RAID and LVM)

Look where? In the sky? Under my bed?

Any help, advice or abuse I suppose gratefully received.

thanks
Neil
