Hi all,
I am trying to install Fedora 18, and I noticed that at the partitioning page in Anaconda, I cannot simply choose existing LVMs to install to. On the left column under "New Fedora Installation", there are at least a dozen "Unrecognised Linux" etc. entries. I have three distributions and Windows 8 on here, and the laptop is EFI-based.
Is it a "feature" of the new installer to not allow to install to existing logical volumes? Do I have to create the logical volumes during the Fedora 18 installation and never before?
I am also concerned with choosing the EFI partition (I have yet to venture that far in the process): will the installer just install the bootloader in an appropriate directory in the EFI partition, or will it try to wipe that by default?
Thanks for any insight.
