That has all the earmarks of a good chicken or egg debate...  Its not
really a philisophical point I was making.  Simiply saying user should
be shown the partition scheme.

As it turns out user is shown the scheme and somehow I missed it first
time around.  Its quite an obvious little box one can check that says
something like [x] review partitions when through.

So apparently Fedora developers also felt it was a good idea to make
that info easily available.  I think it may even be checked by
default.  I may have inadvertantly turned it off or something.

I'm reinstalling a few times to check out as many aspects of install
routines as I can.
