There must be some other way to install fedora than using "mediawriter?"

Mediawriter is just used to create bootable installation media, normally a

"live" USB key that boots to a GUI. The alternative is to create a kickstart

file that specifies a text mode install, but "The text user interface is limited,

for example, it does not allow you to modify the partition layout or set up LVM".

See:

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/el/fedora/rawhide/install-guide/advanced/Kickstart_Installations/#chap-kickstart-installations

You still need bootable install media.

I want to install a copy of fedora-33 on another drive and I would like
to try a different method if someone can suggest one. Google has not
helped ...
