Hi. I've searched release notes, bugzilla and news archives for an answer to this, but haven't found one. I have found one other query on fedoraforum, but no solution. ( http://forums.fedoraforum.org/archive/index.php/t-259666.html ) I started installing f14 on a machine (P4, 2GB ram, 30GB free on 75GB HD, 1st partition is WinXP). I use manual setup of partitions, as I have always done, planning to use the following approximate scheme: sda1 - primary - ntfs - 45 GB - winXP sda2 - primary - ext2 - 200 MB - /boot sda5 - extended - ext4 - 7 GB - /home sda6 - extended - swap - 2 GB - [swap] sda7 - extended - ext4 - 20 GB - / It seems that anaconda overrides my choice of not ticking the 'create primary partition' box in the 'add partition' dialog, making all three first partitions created primary. This means that both /boot and either /home or / would be primary partitions. Questions: - 'Olde' knowledge says that only one primary partition can be visible to the system at one time. Is this not longer true? - If still true, the system wouldn't be able to see the home or root partition, would it? - If the behaviour is by design, what is the reasoning behind it? Is it better than letting the admin decide? I haven't yet tried partitioning with fdisk first, but will try to do that tomorrow. Hopefully it will be a usable workaround.
