hi there sir Jirka,
my thanks for your responce,
I feered that this list was dead?
so If I am reading you correctly,
and I go custom partitioning with blivet in anaconda, i can untick a box
for the volume that is labled home?
and anaconda will lieve it alone?
and will reuse it as the new /home?
will the username and password have to be the same?
p.s on a related note not really,
I hear that a web-ui version of anaconda is on it's way,
I have some issues if you would not mind answering?
I use a screen reader, orca and anaconda is very accessible at the moment.
if this web-ui is added and the gtk interface is purged then I feer that
I will not be able to install future versions of fedora.
could you help me in dismissing my feers?
r if you have the allmighty power, could you ask the relevent devs
unless you happen to be one about this?
best way of testing accessibility is to test the new web-ui with orca
running and listening to what orca tells you,
labled buttons, are the buttons and checkboxes and dropdown boxes
accessible and labled?
thank you for your help sir Jirka :)
