Hi,
Here is the scenario, lets say I have a 60gb hard disk.
When installing Fedora via gui I noticed that Disk Druid does not give you the option of specifying the overall disk space to allocate to Fedora.
In this case I want to allocate 20gb to Fedora and Disk Druid should allow me to do that, then I can carry on with installation as usual.
Can this feature be implemented, please.
Thanks Shams
It certainly does... you just have to use the "Create a custom layout" instead of the default which will use the whole disk.

Thanks for the info.
With custom layout you have to create/adjust the partitions and lvm's yourself where as with the default layout disk druid creates the partitions and lvm's as it deems fit which I am normally happy with BUT it ends up taking the entire leftover space to achieve this.
However when I want to create the custom layout then I should be able to specify that ONLY 20gb should be allocated and then the partitions and lvms should be created as disk druid seems fit just like default layout does BUT working within those 20gb.
Thanks Shams

I thought there was some kind of "base the layout on the default" or something like that which would let you do the whole disk druid thing but give you something to start with.
Yes thats what I want but I want to be able to say at the same time that Disk Druid is only allowed to use 20gb for this default layout and thats it which currently does not exist yet.
Thanks Shams

You can file a report, making the request for enhancement (RFE) against the anaconda component:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora%20Core
... unless "Requests" is the right tab; sorry, not sure if this is visible to you:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/request.cgi
You'll have better luck getting feedback from the developers who work on the software if you make a formal request instead of counting on them reading your email on a busy mailing list.
