Even when we do speak the same language, there are other factors.  The stress 
level during an install for instance.  I've done many installs, mostly of 
Mandriva and a couple of Fedora, but when doing this last Fedora I couldn't 
see where that custom partitioning was done.  Crazy, but stress overcame 
reason.  It really does need to be more obvious.  

And talking about it in a thread like this will get us nowhere, as the 
developers and maintainers all gave up reading it days ago.
