Getting to the initial GUI seemed to take forever. Once there, I started at what seemed to be the beginning, upper left of the block of stuff in the middle, expecting to have to tell Anaconda the PC clock is set local. Once in time configuration, I find not only is there no apparent way to set clock to local time, Anaconda thinks no NTP server is configured even though it seemed to agree with my specification of us.pool.ntp.org, and there is a way to exit time configuration. What's the trick to getting out of time config?
Here I need to toggle Off->On the NTP server switch for the yellow warning to disappear in a second. Other than that I only choose the timezone on that screen, but I've had to toggle the switch the last dozen times I booted the installer.
Only rarely the installer starts with no such yellow warning about the unconfigured NTP server.
So finally I figure out how to select a partition, and when done specifying mount point and filesystem, the _prior_ partition has been set to / instead of the one I chose, and there's no way to undo it!!!
The '-' button may be for that, but contrary to its small pop-up description, when clicking it, it warns about deleting all data on a selected partition, which is why I haven't tried it yet. ;-)
