You can't? Not even if you make / ext3 (or some other FS grub will
recognize)?
No.
The livecd installs by copying itself to your drive.
It cannot modify the way it is, which is a ext4 / and a ext3 /boot.
If you try and change either of those, anaconda will say no.
Has something changed? I /know/ I created a custom partition layout for
F10 (because I have / and /home, with no /boot *and no swap*), and I
know I did it from the KDE Live spin (which I still have on USB, being
the only easy way to get Fedora onto my Eee). I sure don't remember
creating that layout after the fact, I want to say I installed that way
straight off.
If not... I'm going to have to do a 'yum upgrade' on my asus, which
is going to be... painful.
Try preupgrade?
Actually... I doubt I have the space for it (only 700 M free) :-).
Besides, yum upgrade will let me keep a closer eye on what additional
dependencies get sucked in. (With less than 3 G of space for the OS, I
care very much about keeping the rpm set as lean as possible. Even so
far as giving up kcalc so I can keep the monstrous foomatic off the system.)
(Btw, is ext4 considered "safe" for SSD's? I've so far been using
ext2 to avoid the journaling...)
Yes, I think so.
Hmm... well, not sure if I'll try it. I'd be a bit paranoid about /home
getting nuked if I have to split / (though, in fairness, there is so
little actually on the SSD that it would be trivial to back everything
up first).
