Comment 2 for bug 109957

It is possible to do this manually (Hardy beta), but it's a somewhat involved process. Someone who doesn't have any experience of Linux yet would find it difficult.

   (boot live cd)
sudo bash
apt-get install lvm2
modprobe dm-mod
lvm vgscan
   (this displays lv names)
lvm lvchange -a y XXX
   (where XXX is lv name)

Then, go to the install icon and proceed as normal. Select manual partitioning. Your lvm partitions show up with the others. Do the installation using your logical volumes...

At the end of the installation, DO NOT RESTART!

You should find the newly installed system under /target. Still in the above shell prompt, do the following:

chroot /target
apt-get install lvm2
exit
