I apologize if we were confusing earlier, there is no connection between Media Writer and how a Fedora system has its partitions laid out. Fedora Media Writer writes ISO images to removable media such as a USB jump drive. Those ISO images are one file that contains a bootable installer. You can use Media Writer to write other ISO images to disk if you want, it is just a handy tool. You can skip using Media Writer and use 'dd' instead. I've heard people use 'pv' to write ISOs to disk. Once that image is written to your jump drive, THEN you can boot off that jump drive. It is within the OS installed on the jump drive where you can choose to partition your disk and install Fedora. I've seen several posts trying to explain that Media Writer doesn't affect your partitioning, but you continue to attribute partitioning to Media Writer, so I hope this explains things better. -- Jonathan Billings <billi...@negate.org> _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org
