I told it to create space ("delete all"), and it did indeed install F32, over the top of F32 that was already there.
I wonder if sda is an SSD. Either way, it's a good size for the root partition and you could use the other one for /home.
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?
Not really a tutorial, but the install documentation is here: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora/f33/install-guide/install/Installing_Using_Anaconda/
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.
You still can do it, although with two disks it will help immensely if you understand how partitioning works.
Here's the start of the partitioning docs: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora/f33/install-guide/install/Installing_Using_Anaconda/#sect-installation-gui-storage-partitioning And this is the section explaining about doing it manually: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora/f33/install-guide/install/Installing_Using_Anaconda/#sect-installation-gui-manual-partitioning _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
