[Leaplist] installing fedora 11

[Bryan J. Smith]

I'm a bit confused on your question / at what point are you at?

The long-standing "Disk Druid" in Fedora (going back to Red Hat
Linux) will let you choose _existing_ slices (partitions), and their
filesystems/format, with_out_ reformatting.

The Fedora 11 Install Guide has many screens, Section 7.18 on-ward
might be of interest ...  
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/f11/en-US/html/s1-diskpartsetup-x86.html  

Section 7.20 shows the options including "Create custom layout" which launches
the advanced Disk Druid interfaces as illustrated in Section 7.21 on-ward.
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/f11/en-US/html/s1-diskpartitioning-x86.html  

If you have already installed, then you want to run a GUI utility like "gparted" to add
existing slices (partitions) to the running system's /etc/fstab -- or edit it directly if you
so desire.  "man 5 fstab" or refer to your other Linux install's /etc/fstab for the line
that you need to add to /etc/fstab.

hey guys,

Since I have this nice shiny new leap business card with fedora 11 on
it I thought I might give it a spin.  How can I tell it I already have
swap and just want to mount it on / on a now empty partition?  If I
can't, it's too much of a flipping pain and I'll stick something else
on the partiton or just mount it as a junk directory or something. 

sheesh.
