It doesn`t give you choices. It leaves you in the dark about that it is somehow possible to use an non-gui installer and to do a minimal install. It leaves you in the dark about what exactly happens when you do the partitioning and with trying to figure out how get the partitioning you want.
As I said before, the entire installer was rebuilt to promote a more laid back approach. The user can choose the order they wish to customize / experience the GUI installation instead of being forced down a specific path. There might be a couple mandatories, but for the most part it's all about choice.
Which installer are you referring to? As to Fedora, I have only used the ones of F17 and of F19, and none of them gave me any choices. You can start the installer and it doesn`t even let you do the partitioning you want, which is the only choice you are getting.
I`m not an expert with Fedoras installers in any way. This is simply my "user experience". Maybe the "user experience" the installer provides should be different.
It is hidden. I do use it.
If you were trying the live disk, then I believe that the manual partitioning isn't there. I was told on this list to use the full DVD. Yes, I use DVD as an install medium. There is a reason.
A non-gui installation is not something that the majority of users will choose so it's not apparent, but if you want that method, here you go: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/20/html/Installation_Guide/ch-gui...
Says who? And why not give the users that choice instead of hiding it?
I agree. It should be easier to find.
