I don't get it, how is "bouncing around" faster? I bounced around for an eternity when I installed F20 on my new laptop. Earlier it used to take me something of the order of an hour to get everything done, this time around it was so frustrating I gave up after a couple of hours more than once, finally one weekend I decided I get this done or I do not sleep. More information is not a problem, if it is something that is non-essential, an "optional" label next to it should be enough. This time around my main problem was anaconda just would not let me choose the partition sizes I wanted. In the end I went with putting in a skeleton scheme that would let me install Fedora, and alter the partitioning as I wanted post-install. This is by far the worst disk partitioning interface in a Fedora installer I have used since F10 (I started using Fedora regularly then). -- Suvayu Open source is the future.
