I don't know if there would be a problem or not, I just wanted to
do everything the way I always did it because the way I install
fedora (to reduce down time) is by installing in a virtual machine
then rsyncing the VM root partition to a "real" partition and
editing all the uuid's and such. Maybe that would have worked
fine with GPT as well, but I didn't want to risk it :-). Maybe
I'll try it when fedora 38 comes around (I did finally switch to
keyfiles instead of ifcfg scripts for fedora 37 and that worked OK).

Yeah it's in the change set but somehow is missing from the release notes. I've 
let docs folks know.

You can force MBR by using a boot parameter at boot time: inst.mbr

I only advise doing this if there's a problem (firmware confusion) with GPT.

Did I miss something, or is that the way it works now?It's tickling some brain cells but I think it's 100% GPT by default now.Yep. Use GPT and leave MBR is the pasr.BarryThanks,Richard

Can't create msdos partition table without advanced partitioning?

2022-11-19 Thread Tom Horsley 
Installing fedora 37 from workstation live iso to a virtual machine.

I couldn't find any way to partition a blank disk with a msdos
partition table without using the advanced manual partitioning.
Did I miss something, or is that the way it works now?
