OK I have a little problem.

I have a EEE PC 901 and it has two SSD drive (4Gt and 16Gt). I was thinkin to put an LVM system up and make them a one big LVM partition.

The problem is that Ubuntu doesn't support LVM with their LiveCD. So I would need to put the Alternate CD to a USB stick (NO CD-DRIVE!). So then comes the problem I can get the Alternate Install CD to boot from the USB-stick put when it starts to search for devices (In the installation) it fails because it doesn't find a CD-Drive which i don't have.

I used UnetBootin to create the booting USB stick from the Alternate CD Image.

So Anyway to get this working without buying an external USB CD-drive?

Have a read of this (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpLVM-WithoutACleanInstall)
Looks like you can do it without a cd. Personally I have never tried.
