        I used it only to show the partitions; shudda said so. Sorry.

        Probably. The whole subject of partitions seems clear to me till
I try to apply it, and then suddenly all I think I know evaporates. I was
trying to check how much space I had available on the whole machine.

        Would mate-disk-usage-analyzer have been better?

       $ df -h / /home/dev/sdb2
         df: /home/dev/sdb2: No such file or directory

Missing the 2nd <space> character:  "df -h /<space>/home<space>/dev/sdb1"
 
         Filesystem                 Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
         /dev/mapper/fedora-root00   15G   15G  885M  95% /

        What does that first slash do? Should I be doing "df -h /"
instead of just "df -h" routinely??

        Fwiw, I *think* root has his own partition. Every time I try to
use Anaconda for custom partitioning, I foul up, and end up having to
accept the default. <sigh> But maybe that's convenient now.

        Anyway, in case it helps, I also see

         $ df -h
         df: /run/user/1000/doc: Operation not permitted
         Filesystem                 Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
         devtmpfs                   7.8G     0  7.8G   0% /dev
         tmpfs                      7.8G   45M  7.8G   1% /dev/shm
         tmpfs                      7.8G  1.6M  7.8G   1% /run
         /dev/mapper/fedora-root00   15G   15G  877M  95% /

15G is very small, so not surprising that it is 95% full, but since 
you seem to be using LVM it should be possible to use some of 
the 88GB available on /dev/sda.
 
         tmpfs                      7.8G  144K  7.8G   1% /tmp
         /dev/sda1                 1014M  293M  722M  29% /boot
         tmpfs                      1.6G   68K  1.6G   1% /run/user/1000
