AIUI that's by design. Partitioned space is not 'free' by anaconda's definition, and anaconda will not just assume you don't care about the partition and reallocate it. 'Free space' only refers to *unallocated* space. Custom partitioning ought to show the partition and let you choose to format it and assign it a mount point, of course. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
