1) /boot will always get prioritized first. With the way we do growing, we have to generally place the largest partitions on the disk first so that we can grow and fill the disk even in situations where there are partitions that you're not removing. 2) Allocating a partition without setting a mount point would lead to a fair bit of confusion with the UI as well as not being clear for what the partition id should be set to. Jeremy, 1/ Understand your comment re boot. 2/ The UI should not be confusing as it simply shows what is or is not allocated which is the case now if I partition with fdisk or cfdisk first The install process asks the user to "manually" edit/setup partitions & then the user cannot do so except for some very basic tasks which are not really manual but semi automated. The ability to manually setup partitions, their order, type, and allocation needs to be part of the ability of disk druid to make the affort of creating it worthwhile. In an enterprise situation the features suffice only for some situations, but on Fedora where the needs are more varied & some may say weird and wonderful the features I refer to become a necessity not a desire I put this up to be constructive after I found myself getting frustrated with it & then looked around and found others had commented likewise with the less polite indicating Disk Druid was useless which demeaned the efforts which have been put into it Perhaps the immediate & simplest solution would be a third button onscreen for cfdisk for those who wanted to brew their own, it has a reasonable display. That avoids the need to set up partitions prior to the install of fedora |
