Use existing Partition without formatting when installing F18 ?

Previous to Fedora 18 I used to share the /boot/ partition /dev/sda1 between two systems (e.g F17 and F16) Now It only seems to be possible to format partitions before you can add it to the installation. Any trick around this ? Cheers O. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To un

When I just tried to reboot fedora 18, it printed about 3 lines on the console, then sat there forever. I typed Ctrl-Alt-Delete and it printed a new line about the alsa save soundcard service not working. I could type it in again and get the same message again. After about 5 minues of this, it f

set primary monitor during install

I'm trying to install F18 on a netbook with a small screen where most of the installer's screens don't fit. To get around this problem, I attached an external monitor - but now the installer thinks that's a second monitor, so I still can't access critical parts of some of the installation screens.
