I can't recall if it was a Debian install CD or if it was a Debian
>From Scratch rescue CD, probably the DFS rescue CD. At one point I
managed to screw up my LVM by erasing a disk that was still notionally
part of the LVM - suffice to say that LVM was unhappy with this on
boot. I think the DFS rescue CD recognised the LVM instantly, whereas
on the Debian CD I might have had to force it to scan for LVM.
If you only need text-mode then any Debian install CD should work (I
suspect it was grabbing the packages from the network rather than
being on the CD).
