Installing F7 by CD and not by DVD

Actually, it is quite a lot.  200 GB drives aren't the norm, not yet.

Wild guess:  The prior installation used one small partition (boot) and
one large partition (LVM).

These days, I do my own, normal, ext3 partitioning.  I have a "spare"
one that stays between installs for such things.  Another option is post
installation, you make your install space holding the ISO the /tmp
partition.

:-)  I don't think I've actually seen one larger than 2 gigs, here, yet.
