Hi
Surely this will only be useful for some installations. I'm currently recording a installation of Fedora 7 which I'll submit to the main menu team for broadcast if I'm satisfied. In this scenario, my hard disks are already partitioned and they contain other Linux distributions. I wouldn't want these partitions removed by one installation.

I did something that wasn't in the howto with disk druid and so far as I
can tell, it was successful.
First I started out by selecting default partitioning. Next where it said
view and modify partitions I picked yes. Third, I got onto the big slash
partition and hit f2 and was asked to you want to create a new partition
or logical volume and I chose to create a new partition.
4) Since I want to create two more partitions and the slash partition is
the space from which these are being taken I figured the slash
partition should be 1/6 of the original space and the /usr/local should
be 1/3 and the /home should be 1/2. So I keyed in my mount point for
/usr/local and divided the 113,354MB by 1/3 and keyed that number in as
the size. I had to backspace over the 1 that was already there to get
rid of it. Then having finished up that partition I repeated the
process after having gotten back onto the slash partition and created
the /home partition with 1/2 the space that was originally in that
slash partition.
If possible could some of you try this method out and see if it's any
easier? If so, it may be useful to update the howto's disk druid section
