I have been trying to install the base Fedora (which I have never actually 
installed, relying more on my custom install of a openbox-WM-based system)  on 
an old laptop that used to run Debian. I would like to keep the existing /home 
partition. 

I am not really that invested on the current paritioning, but I am ok if I get 
to keep it.

So, here is the current paritioning:

/   26 GiB /boot  100 MiB (this is an efi partition) swap  17 GiB  /home  
(encrypted, absolutely want to keep)

My partitions are all ext4s and I prefer that. 

However, my problem is that when I select the Mount partitons and (I guess do 
this manually) with formatting for all but the /home partition,  I get no 
option on how to set the type of partition, and in the next step, I get "Unable 
to set efi partition" with no seeming recourse on how to wipe/reset it and 
proceed. 

I guess this new anaconda installer is a bit too much for me:-(

But anyway, how do I proceed? Any ideas.

Sorry for such a basic question, and thanks in advance for all your help.

Best wishes,
Ranjan
