The previous ISO (alpha?) had a script that bypassed the graphical installer, and installed SME on a standard partition rather than using an LVM layout.
Installing this Beta in a virtual machine, it seems to only provide the graphical installer with a default LVM layout. Is this the preferred file system now, or is this a problem that arises from using the Virtual Machine Manager and KVM?
Not a fan of LVM, I chose 'No LVM' from the Advanced Options menu.
