Have you booted from the disc? I don't think you can slip the disc into a running installation and start installing from the disc, that way. > BTW I do not have the wiggle room for dual boot. > I backed up my home directory and edited > my partitions before running the DVD. A problem with pre-partitioning is that installations may want to only use free space on your drive. Free space isn't a formatted partition with no files on it, it's un-used, unpartitioned, space. Also you may pick partition sizes that don't work well, or boot partitions of the wrong type (UEFI versus old-school, etc). There are usually install options which say to use the whole drive, in which case it was pointless pre-partitioning your drive. It's going to wipe the lot. With a certain amount of hunting around it was possible to go into manual partitioning in the installers and select ones you'd already made, overriding it doing things automatically. Not that I can recall trying this with recent releases. > Do I need to have an internet connection available to do the install? Shouldn't be needed.

My experience has been doing installs from Live ISO files lately, where it virtually dumps the live ISO contents onto the hard drive. Afterwards, your first boot offered to do updates. Other distro installs (I've done a few recently, so my recollections of how each one went is getting scrambled), can do a basic install of set package groups controlled from the installer, but actually fetching the most recent packages from the internet instead of from the install disc. I think only NetInstall discs did this on Fedora. > The joy of installion is a reason I do it so rarely. Likewise. I don't install each Fedora release, as well the installing, it's too much wasting of my time to figure out where things have changed to, to do it that often. On other computers I've been trying out long-term versions for the same reason (CentOS on a server, Ubuntu for friends, Mint on my ancient laptop). I can't remember if my last install was Fedora 34 or 35. I do recall it wasn't practical on my laptop (too old and slow for the graphical desktop, and the screen kept flashing in use). -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.59.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Feb 23 16:47:03 UTC 2022 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
