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
