LVM only seemed to allow a volume to be created in free space. I do not
want it to use that space.

I'll take your word for it. I couldn't find it.

So I'm spoiled. An old PM 3 running on an old DOS floppy with no
additional driver can recognize FAT32. LVM seems to want to replace
those. So I install eCS, find a driver and get it to load, and then I
can deal with the HDD? If LVM is going to setup the HDD it better be
ready to do it at install. eCS seems to assume it owns the entire HDD.
That may be a reasonable assumption in an enterprise, but not for an
individual. Or is that by design?

However, it does seem that except for paying homage to BM and IVM/LVM at
install we can ignore them.

1.0 worked fine on FAT16. 1.1 changed some directory names for
seemingly the sole purpose of keeping it off FAT16. Why?

I have just spent too long making too many attempts to install eCS. I
have some evidence that it doesn't like old HDD. It has been
acknowledged that it won't install on some systems, the HDD may be a factor.
