Fedora 18
Why for HEAVENS did they change the custom partitioning in F18 from the
F17 and previous versions ?
Is there a Tutorial for Custom Partitioning for Fedora 18 ?
Perhaps in the documentation? This
<http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/18/html/Installation_Guide/s1-diskpartsetup-x86.html>
takes you to the partitioning section in the middle of the Anaconda
docs. There is also a help file available in the application.
Like it or not, they had their reasons

for the change.
Most of the time, at least in the past 5 years or so, I've been finding
that changes have been made for the sake of change, not an actual need
for the change (Gnome 3, anyone?). I'm not saying Fedora is alone in
this - most distros have suffered similar mis-decisions by the
developers. A lot of it also feeds from upstream where maintainers are
far more interested in pursuing their on pet feature sets than providing
a long term reliable, well understood and well supported code base.
Not that this is "wrong" per se - you cannot expect volunteers
maintaining OSS projects to pursue anything but their own project goals,
and this must be respected. It is, however, much less justifiable with
important projects that are heavily sponsored by corporations.
