Dear Madam/Sir, I downloaded Fedora 18 and I tried to install it. I have two problems: manual Disk partitioning and Software selection for installation. For manual Disk partitioning I need to see partitions and all HardDisk and to choose my options thoroughly. For Software selection I need to install not just KDE or Gnome but both and more, all the Environments, plus I need options for installing detailed packages for Development. Both my problems(manual Disk partitioning and Software selection for installation) were good implemented in Fedora 17 but in Fedora 18 I didn't found any solution. It is so because Fedora 18 it is new or in Beta version and this two problems will be implemented in the future? Regards, Mihai
Hi, Mihai. As F18 is not under development any more and this is not a testing-related question but a request for support, it would be better placed on the users@ list or the forums. But I'll answer anyway. :)
There is a manual/custom disk partitioning mode in the f18 installer and it is capable of just about everything the F17 custom install screen was capable of, but it works very differently. For more details on this, see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/NewInstaller and the installation guide at https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/18/html/Installation_Guide/ , which has some good instructions on using the new partitioning tools.
Installing multiple desktops is disallowed in the interface by design in F18, and this is not planned to change. There is extensive discussion and argument on this at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=875433 , but please don't comment further on that bug unless you have something new to say that has not already been said. If you want to have multiple desktops installed, you can install additional desktops after initial installation, or you can use a kickstart - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Kickstart .
