> Is there a way to use run-of-the-mill partitions in the F7 install? In the graphical screen it is called "Create custom layout", and it is hidden in the drop-down list that defaults to "Erase all ... ". At that point you can also go to the text shell using <Ctrl><Alt><F2>, invoke fdisk and have your way with the partitioninng, then return to graphical using <Ctrl><Alt><F7>, then click the Back button, then click the Forward button [to be sure that no stale state gets carried forward], again select Custom layout, and proceed with no changes (or more changes.) --
