That being said, I've been using linux since before RH stopped releasing free versions for home use and I have to say, I haven't had a real problem with it. OTOH, I almost always customize so I do NOT blow everything away and start from scratch. I have my "home" partition information almost from the very first linux install I ever did. Granted it's not on the same *drives* but the data is still there, due to having a separate partition for everything! I can see both sides of this. I don't think it would hurt anything to have a *little* hand-holding by the installer, something to the effect of "If you don't want to blow everythign away and start from scratch, choose a different option" when you just accept the default. OTOH, I don't really want to turn Fedora into the "Microsoft" of linux where you don't have to expend any brain power to install! -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
