Just a couple of questions about clean installing over Fedora 14. Is there an option for it to not overwrite the home and /var/www/html directories? Don't like the font rendering, pretty glunky with Bitstream charter and the default font. Is there a way to improve font rendering? Are there any gotchas to look out for. Thanks fedora, good job Roger
You should move the contents of /var/www/html to somewhere else (backup) or onto /home.
Presuming /home is a separate partition, when the install reaches the 'deal with the hard drive' section, choose 'Custom Layout'. You can then choose which partitions to format *or not format* as desired.
But you will be unable to change the sizes and layouts of any of your other partitions. If you need or want to do that, the only safe route is to backup what you want to save and create your new disk layout with gparted outside of the installer, or use 'Custom Layout'. Note that anaconda likes to re-number your partitions as you create new ones, which can be very annoying. I have never been able to figure out the logic to its re-numbering. So I use gparted together with 'sfdisk -uS -l' to create and ensure that the partitions are aligned on 2048 sector boundaries.
