Now that I am into the install, I can see how my choices are set up.
Rather obscure that 'standard' means EXT4. But with the auto selected
BTFRS both / and /home are in the same volume and I can't see how to
alter the size of this volume in order to increase the size of swap (I
want 2x memory for swap). I finally gave up, after some trial; perhaps
if I deleted the BTFRS partition, I could then increase swap then
recreate it?
In the end, for now, I switched to standard, as it is easy to first
shrink /, then increase swap, and finally by removing the size in /home
altogether, to get /home to take up all that is available for it.
Definitely, later, going to have to figure out how to setup btfrs to get
supposedly better SSD performance over ext4.
Meanwhile, once I used the netinst server iso, I saw how easy it is to
select a workstation. So I'll know soon if I have nvram problems with f21.
thank you.

Well, I am now booted up with Live Workstation F21 TC4 on my Lenovo

But my first task I want to do is a Anaconda hard drive install. With
no real workstation install media, it seems that the server install
media is the way to go at this point.
My current Lenovo x120e running F20 (where we had that bug with nvram
writing) is set up as:
# parted /dev/sda print
Model: ATA Crucial_CT240M50 (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 240GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/4096B
Partition Table: gpt
Disk Flags:
Number Start End Size File system Name Flags
1 1049kB 211MB 210MB fat16 EFI System Partition
boot
2 211MB 735MB 524MB ext4
3 735MB 32.2GB 31.5GB ext4
4 32.2GB 40.6GB 8389MB linux-swap(v1)
5 40.6GB 240GB 199GB ext4
The new unit is the same model with the same SSD drive.
I have been using ext4, but am aware that there might be newer,
'better' types for notebooks. Should I stay with testing ext4 or
should I test a different type out?
I have a local repo with the whole os directory. I can do a local
netinstal Or at least that is the theory.
