I`m not saying that I have no idea what LVM is, only that I don`t have use for it. And the installer doesn`t say what it means by "standard partitions". I want to use raid because I don`t store data on a single disk only. > And same goes for employing full-disk encryption.

Why do I have to enter the passphrase like 10 times? Why does the installer want to save it, and where? Anyway, I want to use the system. Since Fedora fails and there aren`t any ideas about getting it to work, it seems I have to install something else. -- 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?
