When I told it to reboot, it pulled in the drawer and immediately
booted F 32 Live. I told it to install to hard drive -- and got another
surprise. This machine has TWO drives, sda with 112 GB, and sdb with
1.8 TB -- both supposedly almost full. I told it to create space
("delete all"), and it did indeed install F32, over the top of F32 that
was already there.
But when I then tried the same open-drawer trick with the F33,
it did nothing for a long time, then booted F32. :-{ I broke the DVD
with my bare hands; it shattered very satisfactorily. I'll go download
and burn another. Stay tuned.
The new DVD did boot F33, and did let me start to install to hard
drive. I'm in Anaconda, ready to choose partitioning.
Anybody know a very complete tutorial for the terminally
subtechnoid? I want it to give plenty of space to root (I'm going to
tweak like mad.), and loads to the not quite only user (I always give a
user ID to my wife, since our desks aren't both on the same floor; but
she seldom even touches it.), DOES NOT let me pull any dumb tricks, but
DOES touch all bases?
There was a time, probably over twenty releases ago, when I could
do tailored partitions, including iirc a separate /home; but then
something changed, somehow, and nowadays I always end up having to go
back to the automatic.
Thanks for all the help so far!
