Description of problem: The install guide appears to contain no information in the partitioning section about the various platform-specific partitioning requirements: GPT boot disk on BIOS needs 1MB BIOS Boot partition EFI boot disk needs 50-200MB EFI System partition PPC needs one of HFS+ /boot/efi, Apple Bootstrap, or PReP Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 17 Additional info: It would be useful to provide descriptions of these requirements to ease the requirement for explanations in the installer itself.
Thanks for this, David. The BIOS Boot requirement was already added to the Advice on Partitions list [1] as the outcome of bug 704244. It stated two other conditions besides GPT that such a partition would be required, so I believe it should suffice. Let me know if you think it's not clear enough though. I've documented the other two items in a new list item in Advice on Partitions (see http://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/docs/install-guide.git/commit/?id=7965709818160ccc327be6bad38e3691146d4538) [1] http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/17/html/Installation_Guide/s2-diskpartrecommend-x86.html
