Description of problem: I installed a live F24 KDE spin on my Windows laptop, my first time installing Fedora in years (but I've installed Ubuntu/Kubuntu many times). The installer is generally great until it came to partitioning. My choice was to let it do it or partition myself. I have my preferences as how to install (separate swap, use volume manager) but I'm not sure how to relate that to Fedora's features. The problem is there is no easy way to find out how Fedora intends to partition your computer. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda 24.13.7.1 How reproducible: Every time, I assume. Steps to Reproduce: 1. From live USB run Fedora installer. 2. Get to Install Destination. 3. Let Fedora choose "Automatically configure partitioning" 4. Try to find out what it's going to do Actual results: You can't. The link _Full disk summary and boot loader_ just gives the disk description of the boot device. After completion all the summary screen says is "Automatic partitioning selected" Expected results: The Installation Summary should display or link to a summary of how it intends to partition. When choosing to partition myself, there should be a way to get the installer to suggest or fill in how it would partition if I let it. Additional info: This was with the F24-x86_64-KDE-20160823 live spin. There are some hints as to how anaconda intends to partition in /tmp/storage.log, lines like "blivet: Adding fedora-swap;2 GiB to fedora"... "create lvmlv fedora-swap", but it's hard to interpret.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 24 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 2 (two) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 24. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '24'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 24 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 24 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-08-08. Fedora 24 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.
