When I told it to reboot, it pulled in the drawer and immediately

("delete all"), and it did indeed install F32, over the top of F32 that
was already there.
I wonder if sda is an SSD. Either way, it's a good size for the root
partition and you could use the other one for /home.
Anybody know a very complete tutorial for the terminally
subtechnoid? I want it to give plenty of space to root (I'm going to
tweak like mad.), and loads to the not quite only user (I always give a
user ID to my wife, since our desks aren't both on the same floor; but
she seldom even touches it.), DOES NOT let me pull any dumb tricks, but
DOES touch all bases?
Not really a tutorial, but the install documentation is here:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora/f33/install-guide/install/Installing_Using_Anaconda/
There was a time, probably over twenty releases ago, when I could
do tailored partitions, including iirc a separate /home; but then
something changed, somehow, and nowadays I always end up having to go
back to the automatic.
You still can do it, although with two disks it will help immensely if
you understand how partitioning works.
Here's the start of the partitioning docs:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora/f33/install-guide/install/Installing_Using_Anaconda/#sect-installation-gui-storage-partitioning
And this is the section explaining about doing it manually:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora/f33/install-guide/install/Installing_Using_Anaconda/#sect-installation-gui-manual-partitioning
