How did you get past the screen that only lets you pick a whole disk
drive then, as the only possible option after that, click "Done"?
(Or, as I did the first time I saw it, push the reset button :-).
No power on earth could get me to click "Done" under those circumstances
when installing on a system that contains data I want to preserve.
Only after trying the install on a totally trashable test system
did I find that "Done" actually means, "OK, now you get to pick
partitions."
I don't have enough trust available to believe that they surely
won't actually wipe out the whole disk (especially when every
other part of the redesign has been to reduce or eliminate options).
I think that part of the problem is mislabeling of buttons and controls
and no advisory information.
I too only found the partition section after clicking Done, believing
that I was about to wipe out everything.
For me it didn't matter, I have minimal applications and what there is
could be replaced.
My only gripe is that postgres did not work after updating and I still
have no workaround.
Interesting observation, Fedora 19 is blisteringly fast on my old
Dell1520 and much slower on my Desktop which was a FedUp upgrade, so I'm
still not convinced that upgrade is the way to fly Fedora airlines.
