It's usual mountpoint is /homes .

I'll use whichever I can get to work.
So far, neither.
I get that it's been frustrating for you, but this is a bleeding-edge
distribution which will have some issues now and then. Also consider
that you are trying to use a non-standard means of installation.
In any case, there still seems to be a problem with accessing the repo
files. I'm not sure what would cause the selinux message you saw.
I hope this /home1 is just a standard partition, without encryption or
LVM. Is that right? Whenever I do this, I just stick the iso in the
root of a FAT32 partition.
