Perhaps I need to clarify a bit. Under none of the five-or-so install options, did it recognise any of the partitions within vg_pigeon; under the options that kept the volume group vg_pigeon, it suggested 3 new partitions for /, /home and swap, none of which were the same size as the original partitions, and *didn't* give the option of skipping formatting. So at no point was a I presented with a /home patititon that matched the alignment of the existing partition, and where I could unselect 'format'. -- I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken. -- 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 Have a question?
