I believe this is intended to be implemented but not done yet. I'm not sure if it's expected to show up between 18 Beta and Final, or if it'll only show up in 19. Gene, as Chris says, if you have existing LVs you want to use in the F18 install, they should appear in the 'Unknown' group on the left-hand pane of custom partitioning. You can select the LV you want to use for / , and enter '/' in the 'Mount point' box on the right, then do the same for an LV you want to use for /home or /var or whatever. Then if you like you can hit 'Apply Changes' and you should see those LVs show up as the relevant partitions in the 'New Fedora 18 Beta installation' group at the top of the left-hand pane. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
