After mounting the disk partitions using PCLOS, I do a df -a and see
this:

Please advise--doug
2.77MB is the space that is not used by any partition. If you want to
do an automatic install, delete partition 5 and 6 and let the install
create the partitions it is going to use. If the partitions have data
you want to keep, then you can not easily install from a live CD. You
have to do a custom partitioning telling the installer to use the
existing partitions and where you want to mount them.

I could not find an option to use a standard file system. Since any
distro that I install, either in a partition on /dev/sda or /dev/sdb,
must share the hardware
with other distros and Windows, and must be readable by other Linux
distros, I finally gave up. I don't know what the filesystems that
Fedora wants to use
are, I never heard of them, and my Linux (PCLOS) can't read them, nor
will the Fedora install give me an option to use only part of the disk,
I really
want nothing to do with it. My intention was to use the Fedora 32-bit
system to access a program not available on my choice of everyday
distro, and
it seems I can't, I have decided to install Kubuntu, which behaves. I'm
surprised that anyone would use Fedora.
