that would be the lv* utilities (mdadm is for raid setups), anyway, I
see you went with custom partitioning which is what I always do.

Haha, forget that. I just looked at the man page for mdadm.
Mindblowingly difficult indeed, too much for this bear of little brain. the fundamental problem here is that Fedora uses
LVM as its default
partition type, and this is not supported by a variety of older/other
linux distributions.

IIUC, I should be able to mount the partition with the live disc, just
not with the mount command. My mind is near-crumbling anyway, I might
as well give it a final push. Time to figure a new course of action, but alas, both
Arch and Gentoo
appear to require far more time than I have for setting up those systems.
As a matter of fact, I need only a base system - with a precompiled
Xorg, thank you - and the build-essential packages. I can then build the
apps I need.
It would certainly simplify things here if AV Linux were 64-bit savvy. ;)
