Then how about explaining in detail what exactly you've tried? If you
tell the installer which existing partition or LV to use for the root fs,
the installer doesn't override your decision. Unless you ask the installer
to do automatic partitioning.
I have tried that very thing many times. It seems to fail in complicated
situations. And it never gives much of a diagnostic message beyond "your
configuration cannot be implemented" or some such. I'll try to repeat
those experiments and give details, starting tomorrow, if I can.

That's an irrational comment.
No, that's a question. I am new to the list and would like to know if it
works efficiently or it is a wasteland of egos like most of the
internet. Can anyone express opinions here without being shot at? I sure
hope so. In my humble opinion the F25 installer is awkward. Can I say that?

Don't let your frustration pile up so quickly. Try again, take notes
of the steps and give a more detailed description of what you've tried.
I do manual installs of Fedora alongside existing installations often,
I have also done many installs of other distros in mixed environments.
and your description so far sounds like PEBKAC. ;-)
I might accept that as your own opinion if you knew the actual details,
which I have not given yet, because I would have to reinstall yet again.
But all you know is that I have tried manual installation and failed.
Thus your contribution so far sounds like an ad hominem. ;-)
