Well ok, in that case you may be better off running fdisk /before/
installing so that you can install the system onto the partitions you
want right away.  The installer --- since it comes as part of a live
system --- gives you everything you need for that.

The question is whether you can get it to use the partitions you
created.  That was difficult enough even without RAID or LVM.

In case I want to install more distributions or a fallback Fedora, I
need to tell their installers again where to install what.  A universal
partitioning tool could save me that.
