Answering here to all three replies, and thanks for all of them! I think it should have been clear from my wording that I want to install from scratch and wipe the existing OS. I do not want to dualboot or "save" anything (or much) from the existing OS. I just want to reuse the existing LVM structure with all the existing guests and wasn't sure if this would be easily provided by the install wizard or if I needed to do something special. Or if I should just install via kickstart reusing the original kickstart file with slightly altered options (e.g. don't create volumes, just format the correct ones - which might be a tricky and easily mistaken one). So, as I understand, a normal install with the custom disk layout option should be able to reuse the LVM as I want it, right? Thanks.
