Speaking only from the RedHat installer, you can't do that very easily, if at all. In my most recent experience of upgrading to RHEL10 on two of my servers, it could not understand that I wanted one drive for the OS and then a separate drive for a specific mount, so I had to do exactly as you just mentioned, installing the OS, then at the CLI, using LVM to setup the other disk.
When I installed MINT yesterday, it just asked me if I want to setup on the drive it found, it didn't seem to ask for anything about Mount points or anything -- it was just like "You want Linux, here" .... With almost none of the configuration opportunities I'm used to on RHEL. --- Thanks, Alexander Sent from my Google Pixel 9 Pro On Tue, Aug 19, 2025, 16:33 Mark Phillips via PLUG-discuss < plug-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org> wrote: > My mistake.
