Why should someone have to re-implement what we used to be able to do on Fedora, years ago? Way back when I had to use slow CD-ROMs to install, or not-as-slow DVDs, I found it quicker to copy installation info (ISO or expanded tree) to a partition on a drive, boot the simpler network install disc (probably could have avoided that, but was convenient enough for me), but run the rest of the install from the hard drive. I just kept one partition spare, and didn't include it as part of the install. The installer never used to block use of an entire drive, or any drive, for that matter. -- tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.19.8-100.fc20.i686 #1 SMP Tue May 12 17:42:35 UTC 2015 i686 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
