I have worked through MANY redhat and fedora installations over the years, most of them installing new over existing /boot, /, and swap partitions (I always protect my data on their own partition, /usr/local, which is not formatted). It has always been an irritant that a clean install defaults to completely wipe out one's data if not careful. The menu has improved but I would I would like to see the following features for a standard Fedora install: 1. If there are any linux partitions found, the default should be to customize the linux partitions. Let the user change that if desired. 2. During a custom partitioning selection, any existing partition label should be retained, even though the partition is formatted. I will file these as feature requests if there is any support for them on this list. Thanks. -Tom P.S. I have now installed F7 on one laptop (wireless not configured successfully yet, but Matthew Saltzman on this list is helping) and four i86 boxes and am pleased with the results. I had to use a hard drive installation on two old boxes because of the installation failure to recognize the DVD after installation started, but newer boxes have worked fine.
