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
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
Most of the manual options are greyed out & are pretty useless
AFAIK you need to answer a few questions in the installer to
get different options enabled - no idea what all the developers
talking about modern human interfaces are smoking
...
I suppose I could re-install 17 & upgrade via yum to 18 then 19 
from there but it's a hell of way to do things IMO
would be a solution
...
I suppose the netinstall is the way to go...
you can also make a minimal install with the DVD and so following dist-upgrades
with yum are tiny and fast - i had to do this somewhere around F17 because
the F17 installer insisted in GPT crap and di not allow me to manually
specify teh 3 RAID paritions i wanted - after it was solved i found somewhere
the kernel-param to disable the GPT nonsense nobody needs on 1 TB drives
if you completly want to delete the existing CentOS boot the LiveCD and
opena tmerinal "su -" -> "yum install gparted" -> make the partitioning
at your own - i am working this way for more than 10 years because i
never trusted *nay* os-installer enough to play around with my
partitions except on blank machines
