Hi Corey,
I don't like my solution either, but it's the only one I found. When I installed Fedora 24 (Cinnamon Spin) I hadn't this problem. I only need to customize my partitioning and everything was there, I could shrink Windows and install Fedora in the empty space... But looks like they took that option away in Fedora 25. Or at least they hide it so well I couldn't find it. If you have a better workaround, please share it, I'll be glad to use it. But it's still a bug. If I choose to make partitions myself, I should be able to edit the partitions and shrink the existing ones to make room. Otherwise, what for a customised partitioning?
Cheers, Sylvia

Hi!
I opened a bug and added this link
as documentation of what happened and how did I solved it, but I didn't receive any reply up to now. Ideas? Suggestions?
Cheers,

Hello
That is the simplest way that still allows some tracking of progress I
think.

Hello, So I should write everything and then open a bug in Bugzilla. Therefore one of you will pick it and convert it to DocBook. Did I understand it correctly? Sorry if I do too many questions. Cheers, Sylvia On Wed, 2016-08-17 at 22:42 +0200, Stephen Wadeley wrote:
Hello You can write the procedure in plain text, markdown, whatever you like really, and attach it to a bug (the old, simple, reliable way). We will convert it to DocBook for you. Alternatively, the new git repo tool Pagure enables you to do pull requests. HTH On 08/17/2016 09:40 PM, Sylvia Sánchez wrote:
Yes, I guess if it's a Windows user that can be done. But my question wasn't that. I found the way to do so during installation. What I wanted to do is document the process. My question is "How and where I can do this?" (documenting the way it's possible to shrink a partition during the Install process). As a side note, it was quite clear how to do it in Fedora 23.

Hi Sylvia, honestly, in the described case, I see the most comfortable option for
less experienced users in downloading Minitool Partion Wizard Free Ed. (https://www.partitionwizard.com/download.html), shrink the partition through this well-known application (it is really easy and straightforward) in Windows, make a room for Fedora this way, then install Fedora. Additional tip: You can install grub-customizer for easy managing of the loader choices.

Sent: Wednesday, August 17, 2016 4:27:56 PM Subject: I found a small hole in documentation Hello folks, I was trying to install Fedora in a laptop but I didn't want to delete
the Windows partition, just shrink it. I naturally looked up in Documentation as it's not obvious in the partitioner how to shrink a partition to make room in hard disk. I didn't find it. Not I found it anywhere else. I eventually found it out by myself so I would like to help others documenting the process or if it's a known bug, adding a warning to documents.
Now.... How can I do that?

Not sure I get what you are claiming is a bug, last I read the install guide it uses another 'safer' workaround. Also the workaround you show in your blog post is not generally speaking hard but still not advised for a novice user either.
