	The new DVD did boot F33, and did let me start to install to hard 
drive. I'm in Anaconda, ready to choose partitioning. 

	Anybody know a very complete tutorial for the terminally 
subtechnoid? I want it to give plenty of space to root (I'm going to 
tweak like mad.), and loads to the not quite only user (I always give a 
user ID to my wife, since our desks aren't both on the same floor; but 
she seldom even touches it.), DOES NOT let me pull any dumb tricks, but 
DOES touch all bases? 

	There was a time, probably over twenty releases ago, when I could 
do tailored partitions, including iirc a separate /home; but then 
something changed, somehow, and nowadays I always end up having to go 
back to the automatic. 

	Thanks for all the help so far!
