As I said before, the entire installer was rebuilt to promote a more
laid back approach. The user can choose the order they wish to
customize / experience the GUI installation instead of being forced
down a specific path. There might be a couple mandatories, but for the
most part it's all about choice.
Which installer are you referring to? As to Fedora, I have only used
the ones of F17 and of F19, and none of them gave me any choices. You
can start the installer and it doesn`t even let you do the partitioning
you want, which is the only choice you are getting.
I`m not an expert with Fedoras installers in any way. This is simply my
"user experience". Maybe the "user experience" the installer provides
should be different.
It is hidden. I do use it.
If you were trying the live disk, then I believe that the manual
partitioning isn't there. I was told on this list to use the full DVD.
Yes, I use DVD as an install medium. There is a reason.
A non-gui installation is not something that the majority of users
will choose so it's not apparent, but if you want that method, here
you go:

Says who? And why not give the users that choice instead of hiding it?
I agree. It should be easier to find.
