Instead of letting the installer choose, try custom setup instead. Just check mark which drive you want to use at the top, in the partitioning menu, and then just add new partitions. I would just create a /boot, / and swap partitions. Maybe a gig for /boot, double your memory for swap, and the rest for /. But mainly, it lets you create your own setup and you know what drive to use and all that. -- Mike Chambers Madisonville, KY -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
