Fedora Core kernels include LVM-2 which provides (more-or-less) the 
same functionality as you'd get with EVMS. Is there a particular 
capability you need from EVMS, which is missing in LVM-2 ? I know at
some point in the past there have been some problems with snapshots of 
root filesystems with LVM2 - I'd hope they're fixed by now but don't
have a box handy to validate...

Dan.
