Starting installer in expert mode, selected custom install, disk druid for partitioning. Removed all partitions on the disk, and started adding them back in. I've got separate partitions for /, /boot, /var, /usr, /tmp, and /nfs/brute/d1 (local convention for automounter). The installer seems to think I don't have a valid setup for installation. Partition sizes: / 500MB /boot 50MB /usr 2GB /var 1GB /tmp 2GB /nfs/brute/d1 (rest of disk, about 23GB)
Got it -- it wants a swap partition before it continues. Since I can see other situations where swap won't be necessary, and since the machine has 512MB of ram (more than enough to install without swap, I assume), I'm calling this a bug still.
Yes, there was a limit for passing without swap. A math or logic for the decision seems to be broken.
Damn, my mouse is so fast.... As I wrote to testers-list@redhat.com it seems to be more intuitive to leave 'Next' button active and generate an error message when user click to 'Next' without filling all the needed stuff. This allow to specify WHAT is missing and will save time to hotline and to beginners.
you should be able to install without the swap requirement using expert TUI (text) mode ... The GUI (both expert and non-expert) installs will still require a swap partition ... thanks for your report!
