Len,

   Thanks.  I just took a closer look at my partitions.  Somehow, my swap partition has gotten into an extended partition, and everything else is primary.  I would not have done that deliberately.  Now I see a route to an extra partition.  

   Anaconda is rejecting my standard partition scheme, and the Fedora site is recommending a boot partion,
