I have a dvd drive, with lots of old empty disks, and plug it in when I want to update. It is very straightforward, the same as you described for f35, except it doesn't boot into a live fedora, but into anaconda. For F35 it will still be hub and spoke. There is going to be a new method, browser based?, but I haven't tried it yet. If you have an internet connection on the device it will probably be picked up. It will ask for language and keyboard. Then you will get a menu of items that have to be completed (the hub), and you go into each and do what is required to complete them (the spokes), and then return to the hub. I always use the custom hard drive configuration, creating partitions, or assigning existing partitions to / and /boot. It allows selection of format before install, which I usually use. But if you are willing to accept the default btrfs, you can just point it at an empty drive. I keep all my personal files on separate partitions that I symbolic link to from home, so I don't have a separate home. It is possible to select additional software to install over the net, but I usually just select the bare minimum, and do all the software wrangling once fedora itself is running, rather than through anaconda. That means working at a console though, so you might want to install at least one graphical package group so you can work from the gui when you boot up. _______________________________________________ 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 Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
