There are many good reasons why I'd rather blow away home and start from scratch, and that's why I asked the question. I've kept home over many installation/upgrades - I've tried it, I know how it works, and I don't want to do it this time > In my view this should be the default option in the installer. > I don't share the view expressed here that F-7 is perfect. > There is a lot wrong with anaconda, in my view. > In particular the default disk partitioning is very bad. > I would give F-7 beta minus. Your social commentary and grade-score is of no interest to me in this particular context - I don't use the default partitioning any way - I hear people thanking the hard working developers, not saying its perfect, and I agree with them - kudos to a fine job, it's not perfect, nothing is - nobody would agree on what would constitute perfection anyhow -- Claude Jones Levit & James, Inc.
