Installer problem with FC3t3

[taylor65]

I tried installing FC3t3, and it gave an error when I told it to auto partition saying it couldn't allocate requested partitions, and it wouldn't go beyond that. This isn't even a dual-boot machine, and the machine is running FC2 currently. Anyone install t3?

Many have installed fc3t3.

What is your current partition table? As root /sbin/fdisk -l Which option did you choose for auto partition, delete all partition, delete all linux partitons, or use free space?

I did an upgrade instead - worked much better than I ever expected. Even kept all the other apps I had on FC2.

You did that from the CD? I didn't realize that was an option. So is your ~/home still there with all your docs, music, etc? What does Grub do when you boot? Can you still boot to FC2 if you choose?

I just picked the 'upgrade' option instead of my usual 'custom'. /home is there, all my files are still there, all my settings still work, all my web page bookmarks are there (although the default browser is now epiphany for gnome). FC2 is gone. Nautilus has a few different icons. My flash drive seems to be better supported in FC3t3 than FC2. Otherwise it looks pretty much the same. So far, this is the best, most stable test release I've ever seen. It looks like FC3 might be a great distro. I haven't tested some ot the things that bugged me about FC2 though, like samba and fonts. I should be able to try that next week.

Thats good to know. One more question though. When FC3 "final" comes out will upgrading from t3 be just as easy?
