FEDORA Custom Install


Installed FEDORA but did not did not install X-Windows because the partition size was not big enough. When I got around to installing Oracle 10g I realized I had to have X-Windows inorder for the 10g runInstaller to run. When I try to boot the box from the floppy to do a custom install of FEDORA, it tells me that I can only do a new Install or an Upgrade. This is not a new install but adding new components. The Upgrade only upgrades the OS release, I guess. How do I get the Custom Install screen from the Boot Loader??? Do I have to install everything afresh??? Your thougts are deeply solicited.

Use the upgrade option, you can then add in components. Alternatively, select Install but make sure that you do not format your partitions.

Please do not post the same thread in more than one forum. Picking the most relevant forum and posting it once there makes it easier for other members to help you and keeps the discussion all in one place.
