Clicking on unknown icons like that is a scary thing to do when you can expect that it potentially deletes your data. I`m not a fan of icons. I`m not that visually orientated that I would remember them or that I could somehow guess from a, often tiny and difficult to figure out picture, what something might be supposed to do. Anyway, messing the disks together contradicts what the user is doing. You don`t create partitions in thin air but on particular disks or volumes. >>> It isn't going to get better complaining about it on this list. Do you >>> have bugzilla IDs, and if so post them.

Apparently they don`t do it, and that may very well be where some of the impression that the makers of the distribution are far away from the users and don`t care what they think comes from. Why would it be inappropriate to suggest that they take a look? Would you rather copy all relevant posts from this mailing list into a bug report? This discussion is about Fedora.next, which seems to be some sort of effort to figure out what Fedora needs to or should do in the future. When suggestions towards that are considered inappropriate, why are we having this discussion? > >> Bug reports are not >> suited for this, and complaining that ppl don`t make enough of them >> doesn`t get you anywhere. > > Filing a bug report is the process.

Why should I help you since you won't even help yourself? Sure, that`s why I`m taking part in this discussion. But as you wish. I`m done with this discussion, it`s obviously pointless. -- Fedora release 20 (Heisenbug) -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
