Replacing 14 with 16. How to avoid using LVM?


I'm about to replace Fedora 14 with 16. I don't want to upgrade, I want to replace it with 16. I've been doing some looking on this forum for possible problems and I want to avoid using LVM or any other such partition scheme. I want to manually use permanent partitions so I don't have to deal with obscure partition labels in the future. I could care less about resizing partitions or creating new ones after installation. Can anybody tell me how I can make sure I get what I want when I do a clean installation of Fedora 16? Thanks in advance.

I haven't used Fedora in a while, but I would think that all you would have to do is to select the option to manually partition the disk.

9.13. Creating a Custom Layout or Modifying the Default Layout
