I would counter that if you know what you want in terms of partitions,
you should be choosing manual partition already instead of going
through autoparition which might or might not suit your already
defined needs.
That has all the earmarks of a good chicken or egg debate... Its not
really a philisophical point I was making. Simiply saying user should
be shown the partition scheme.
As it turns out user is shown the scheme and somehow I missed it first
time around. Its quite an obvious little box one can check that says
something like [x] review partitions when through.
So apparently Fedora developers also felt it was a good idea to make
that info easily available. I think it may even be checked by
default. I may have inadvertantly turned it off or something.
I'm reinstalling a few times to check out as many aspects of install
routines as I can.
