I always install a new fedora at home by doing the install in a virtual
machine, then doing a guestmout of the VM image and using rsync to copy
everything to an empty partition on my "real" machine (usually the one
that has the two fedoras ago release installed on it which I clear out
first).

I note the blkid values from inside the virtual machine and grep -R
for those UUIDs in the copied image (mostly find them in /boot and
/etc). That tells me the UUIDs to edit to fix things so it will
boot in the new partition. A few other things need fixing as well,
but then I can boot using the "configfile" option in grub from the
nice stand alone grub partition I have just to boot other partitions.

Just installed f34 this way, seem to work fine (still tweaking the
install to make it useful though).

I do turn off selinux through all this. If I wanted to turn it
back on I'd look up how to force it to relabel everything on
boot.
