Use fdisk to partition your disk how you want it (i.e. boot into rescue
mode first), then install FC11, it will not be able to swap things around :)
There should be a be an option in Anaconda that says something like "Let
fedora organize the disk layout" or "Let user organize the disk layout"
(God forbid!)
I cannot understand why you even have the option to create custom disk
layout if it's simply going to try an out smart you when you're done.

I can't answer that, Albert, but I am damned tired of it. I got sda1 for a
boot partition on the third try, but there is a 300 meg hole between it and
sda2 cuz it simply will not allow more than 199 megs for the boot partition.
That problem is about to end with the end of F10.
But if you use fdisk (to extend and fill the hole) Anaconda can't do
anything about it, it just has to accept your disk layout.
BTW: I do understand "why" they want re-arrange the disk layout,
basically so you can extend/shrink non root partitions at a later date
if needed, but it would be nice if it asked permission first.
