All excellent questions which I would have thought deserved at least a bit of text in the release notes rather than just firing a barrel full of acronyms at you :-). Basically though, if you are using an existing disk that is already partitioned, you don't have a GPT disk. Apparently GPT is a brand new partitioning scheme that breaks free of the old DOS scheme (and is necessary to take advantage of the disks bigger than 2TB that are getting common these days). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table If you actually needed a bios boot partition and didn't make one, your system would not boot (I know from experience :-). -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
