Hi, all.
I've just tried to install Fedora 19 over the top of CentOS I.(e. erasing Centos) & I can't figure out how to do it. There's no option for erase & install as with other distros.
Could anybody point me in the right direction?
Cheers, Phil...

Can you point us in the right direction? :) It's not so clear what and with what you want to do install.

I insert the disc & when it comes to the disk partition section it tells me there is not enough room to install Fedora because CentOS is present.
However there is no option to install over CentOS to utilise the whole disk that I could see anyway no matter what I try. I want to erase CentOS completely & just have Fedora on the disk.
Hope this makes sense,
Cheers,

There is, not only you can delete the complete partition layout and create a new one, but you can pass with reformatting only. However to be sure of what we're really talking about, what exact version of the CentOS is that, number of drives, partitions layout and filesystems included, would be good to know as well.

*argh* read before reply
"version of the CentOS is that" doe snot matter if someone want to kill it completly and replace it with Fedora 19, thanks to moderation i think the problem is sorted out off-list in the meantime
his problem is the still broken shiny Anaconda and while i know every piece of my Linux systems Anaconda is the only piece of software i try to avoid to any price i have to pay not face it

It makes perfect sense to me, what you are saying.
I was able to use F17 to "overwrite an existing linux partition" but was not able to do fresh-install with this "feature" after F17. I think this "feature" is not available after F17 as I think Anaconda was replaced with something else, can't remember what it is called. I posted the details of this problem some time ago and at the time thought that this feature would be eventually folded back, in but I guess this is not the case so far.
So, I had to fresh-install F17 first, fedup (upgrade) to F18, then fedup to F19.
This new anaconda, at least to me, is awful but then that is just my opinion, which doesn't mean much. ;)

what is not clear in "Anaconda"? it's the Fedora installer
well, with F18 the whole thing was rewritten and hase a complete different UI - look on the whole screen for possible switches to display extended options
there is for sure somewhere manual partitioning
luckily never faced Anaconda past F14 - god save yum upgrades
