The ordering is done based on how to best fill the disk when you have multiple partitions which are growing. There are no plans to add the ability for the user to do more specification here. If you have a specific desire, you can edit free spaces within the partition table and create partitions with cylinder boundaries to use. > If you have a specific desire, you can edit free spaces within

Jeremy, excuse me, but HOW is it possible to do this? The installer (at least
as of FC6) does NOT provide such functionality.
Or do you suggest pressing Alt+Ctrl+F2 and calling "fdisk /dev/hda" manually?
P.S. Anaconda's habit of shuffling up the order of partitions is very annoying.
So I end up with swap being behind /usr (while I want swap to be as close to
begin as possible), with no reasonable way to fix the situation.

From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040115 Description of problem: Description of problem: I cannot find any way to control the outlay of my partitions when I use Disk Druid in the installation. Couldn't it be possible to have the partitions laid out in the order they are created by the person who is installing the system? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ... How reproducible: Sometimes I manage to get 3 or 4 partitions in the order I want, but then I add another and it can just end up anywhere in the partition table. Maybe there is some kind of "intelligence" built into Disk Druid that creates this behaviour. However, if I choose to partition manually there is a chance I actually know what I am doing and what I want. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install Fedora 2. 3. Actual Results: Totally underterministic. Expected Results: In the order I create the partitions Additional info: There is a bug ib bugzilla.
