Help with selecting stuff in telnet install of fedora

[Janina Sajka]

Highly recomment you not choose automatic for the principal reason that automatic puts you at a disadvantage in future upgrades by virtue of the fact that it will not create a separate /home partition. 

The amount of space available on any given device is displayed in Disk Druid. But, if the Druid isn't offering you anything other than HDC, it can't deal with anything other than HDC.

Perhaps you'll have more choices by using the Druid rather than automatic. But, you should determine in advance where things are. Partitioning is not a place to make mistakes.
