Booted into windows, removed the linux partitions. booted liveCD, fdisk /dev/sda, nuked the sda5 that was still there, so I was left with just sda1 NTFS. doubled-clicked the INSTALL FEDORA icon... NOW I get to the custom install screen!!!!!! so I added a 2GB swap, 15GB / ext4, and, I forget, about 35GB /home ext4. Not gonna get into LVM right now.... installing as we speak. then, on to church, so I'll be away from my laptop for a while:) -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800 -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
