I tried the 'Custom layout' option but it did not work at all as it shows only the first disk (called /dev/sda) of my three disks. With default option, the installer also shows a previous Linux device-mapper (with RAID1+LVM based on /dev/sdb + /dev/sdc ) but this was removed since then via other distros and related installation. (Note: I removed the device-mapper using fdisk : is this correct ? Or is there another way to remove a Linux device-mapper ?) My problem is I cannot install Fedora on /dev/sdb or /dev/sdc because simply its installer cannot see them !?! Is there another way to install Fedora ? Meaning without default installer and related Druid ? (I agree with Timothy as I do not like Druid neither) Bye, Bruno -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
