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.
That's a BIOS issue. Where are you expecting to see the option?
Which live image are you using?
The F43 installer is using a different interface for Anaconda.
I'm using the KDE Spin Live DVD I downloaded from a google search to get
it which I thought was from Fedora. When I installed F43 the first time,
the boot override options in my bios gave me an option to select between
a Bios boot or a UEFI boot from the DVD in my Blueray Burner, but with
the test I was trying to see if I did get options as to how to format a
partition, it only offered the Bios Boot selection.
regards,
