I was not able to install F18 via LiveCD/Anaconda as it appears to insist on (unformatted) free space. I was able to install F17 with anaconda, which allowed me to specify the /boot and / software destination having two partitions wiped out by newly reformatting them while installing. In F18, one has a choice to choose LVM, BRFS(?), or Partition schemes, so I choose the Partition scheme, checked that I wanted no help, to manually modify and/or define the software destination and hovering the cursor over 2nd button, the highlight says: "Please wait... software metadata is being loaded" and nothing happens for over 30 minutes of waiting. I do not want to use the 'reclaim' button because this might mess up the partition table and screw the entire disk. I also noted that while waiting, I was able to set the locale, but not allowed to change the date, time nor 12/24 hour selections, they are greyed out, even though I was able to do this on the time/date menubar but this has nothing to do with anaconda. So, what can I do at this point? -- 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?
