The installer presents a mount point centric view to the user, de-emphasizing the partitions. Some partitions arguably shouldn't even be displayed at all, like EFI System and BIOS Boot. The logic for the ordering is a little lost on me too, but it seems rather unimportant, so long as the logic produces a bootable computer. > 2. 4 primary partitions are allowed on a disk.

There isn't a negative to having extended partitions, GRUB can even boot from a /boot partition on an extended partition. > > 3. There is no option to create a partition and leave it for future use.

After installation you can remove this mount point and its entry in fstab. -- Chris Murphy -- 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?
