Re: Anaconda frustrations- grub install on a partition

Re: Raid5??

Well yeah. But custom [attioning in FC 17 is vastly simpler. I have been using Linux since 1996. A bells-whistle installer is the last thing I need. Besides the system already has a Debian RAID5....

Re: Fedora 19 Alpha/Beta Compose's Available

The only way I can deal with the new installer is to install FC 17 -> FC18 -> FC19. I have Windows Server 2012 Ubuntu 13.04 openSUSE 12.3 and Fedora on RAID 5. No way the new installer is going...

Re: Fedora 18 First Impression

Re: Unsatisfactory experience with Fedup
