> So, I don't know what may be different in my configuration (maybe the windows swap?) that allowed me to compete the exercise. But surely, it isn't totally broken for everyone. Perhaps not. And in fact, I have sort of figured out what to do to get exactly the old anaconda way of doing things for me. (I say sort of.) The trouble is that lots and lots of stuff is hidden in nondescript and (to many, a counterintuitive) way of doing things. The problem is that we don't reinstall (or install F) every few weeks or months so it is very easy to forget what/how this was done every six months. Yes, we can take notes, but recall that this is a time when making notes on the machine itself is not that easy because we are at the installation phase. Also, many things have to be discovered and in particular getting to the manual paritioning setup to me was completely hard to follow: you hit Done or something like that and then you get to the installer. Months later, I have figured out that there are buttons to set the time according to a desired network provided. It is all hidden, and I accidentally found it by looking and wondering why this option should not have been included in the install options. I guess some of us are trying to say that the installer has become quite opaque. Some of us can scrape away the opacity easily sometimes, some can do it rarely, while some can do it all the time. The question that I wonder about is: was this at all necessary. Personally, I like letting stable functional things stay, and think that it would have been better to rebuild on the old installer. But then I am not at all an expert in any of this, and maybe this was not possible. However, the new installer is far too removed in process from the old one, and the least that could be done could be to include a manual and an FAQ (question bank) with the installer. This could be searchable (and included with the installer, because, again note that the machines functionality is not that high at the time of the install). Of course, this takes effort and time which volunteer developers may not have or wish to put into. Btw, the new installer is uglier in terms of looks than the old, too, but that is a matter of personal like! My rambling is all to say that while I eventually got my stuff the way I wanted, I am not sure if it should have taken all that while. I had installs happening in 3-4 minutes with the old installer (now the time taken is exponentially higher). So, while I appreciate all the hard work done by the developers, I can not but wonder if their hard work has been in vain (to an extent) in the sense that many of us old and loyal F users are unable to fully appreciate all their contributions in this regard.
