If you will bring up the F13 Installer Guide I will use the figures within to explain it to you. Let us start with Figure 7.27 (Section 7.20). I got a similar display when I chose: Create Custom Layout. Except instead of the logical partitions / and swap what was misplayed was /root and /home. No swap and no partition mounted on / could be seen. What could I do. So I deleted the /home and /root and saw a Free partion in their place. Now to replace the Free partition with something more usable. So I decided to edit the Free partition and we move to figure 7.29. Every size I entered in the Size Box got a return that there was not enough space for that sized partition. Even when I chose Fill to maximum allowable size. I don't find this behavior beyond obvious or even understandable.
