Hi;
I started to install T2 and it wants to create LVM volumes.
The drive I want to install on has FC5T1 on it, and some data
partitions.
T2 wants to format the whole drive.
I do not want to use LVM, and stick with /dev/hdbx partitions.
(sometimes I use explore2fs from XP - wont work with LVM)
I read in the release notes that anaconda is better and easier to
use???
I have removed all labels on the drives (e2label /dev/hdx "").
In FC5T1 I was able to install normally, and pick my partitions.
I have:
hda1 W98SE to upgrade XP when viruses take it down.
hda2 extended
hda5 XP
hda6 ntfs for dvd images
hdb1 FC5T1 /boot
hdb2 /mnt/downloads
hdb3 /usr
hdb4 extended
hdb5 /home
hdb6 /usr/local
hdb7 /
hdb8 swap
hdb9 /var
hdb10 /mnt/mp3
hdc dvd/cdwriter
hdd1 FC4 /boot
hdd2 swap
hdd3 /
I want to install FC5T2 to /dev/hdb.
I was using the nifty new graphical installer.

I'm still downloading the DVD for FC5T2. I hope it does not require LVM
exclusively. Are you saying that there is no way to make a selection for
traditional partitioning?
You should join or post FC5T2 issues to the fedora-test list,
If no manual partition management is possible, file a bug against
anaconda. You should be able to manage your partitioning scheme at will.
Thanks for posting the info.
