Hi Barry,
When I ran the live installer and it got to the option of
specifying how I wanted to do the install I selected the option to
specify the partitions to install to, whereby is then said I need to
install /, /boot and /boot.efi, and when I selected the partitions
for each of those it gave me the option of either formatting or not
formatting, and for / and /boot I specified I wanted them formatted,
but that selection was either on or off. Unless I didn't see the
format options on the screen it didn't give me any, and when it
showed what it was going to do before I told it to go off and do the
install, it said it was going to format / and /boot as ext4, not that
I was averse to it doing that, I was just surprised it did that given
what I thought was the Fedora standard. From memory, when I did the
F42 install from a live DVD the same options did things differently.
regards,
I think in that case you should report this as a bug in the installer
on the Fedora bug tracker.
Barry
Thanks Barry, I'll do that, I was going to do that anyway as I believe
the issue with the install failing if the Fedora EFI folder exists is
straight out defect.
I tried the live install again but it would let me use the mount point
options because my devices already have the partitions and there is no
free space. One thing I didn't understand though, which might be an
issue with my motherboard bios, when I booted off the live DVD I wasn't
given the option to boot a UEFI version of the live installer which I
was given when I did the initial install, and then when I got to the
"Change Devices" option and selected that it told me I was missing the
BIOS boot option.
regards,
