Disk configuratoin is as follows, just want to overwrite Fedora, but not touch /home or my backup drive so I set partitions up manually:
/dev/sda1 - mount point: boot, format
/dev/sda2 - mount point: /, format
/dev/sda3 - swap
/dev/sda4 - mount point:/home, do NOT format
/dev/sdb1 - backup for /home [told Mint to not use it]
It's also strange I never got prompted by the installation to enter a root password, it had me create what seems like a user account, so I'm wondering if I missed a step or it crashed without my knowing or something.
So on the live CD, I open a terminal and mount up /dev/sda1 and look in boot/grub but there is no grub.conf file present, can't imagine that's normal is it?
