Date: 2019apr6 OS: Linux Distro: Fedora 30 Q. Fedora on VM: best way to partition at install time A. - Start with at least 14 GiB for the whole installation (And 2 GiB memory which is 2048 GiM). You can get away with less storage but you'll need that to upgrade to the next Fedora. - For partition choice, select Custom Installation - Select Standard Partitions (LVM is overkill for a VM) - Click on "Click here to create them automatically" For 14 GiB I get 11.6 GiB = root 1 GiB = /boot 1.4 GiB = swap which is fine.
