There was plenty of room and it said there isn`t and refused to use the partitions that were there. And try to make it use existing partitions ...

That`s why I`d have to unplug all disks except the system disks I`d install on --- which is a PITA. And it`s not even possible when you have a laptop and are forced to install on the same disks the data is on. > It *is* broken and it *is* unusable.

You want to have these partitions in a particular order on the disks, i. e. swap at the beginning because chances are it`s faster, then /usr, /var, /tmp, /usr/local and /home, in that order. That`s nothing complicated, either, and I don`t think that`s possible with Fedoras installer. Or is it? And if it is, how long does it take to do the partitioning? -- Fedora release 20 (Heisenbug) -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
