This, again, is one of the things that the Debian installer does properly.

A netinst (220M download) install offers you the choice of filesystem on a single disk (LVM/not LVM), guided disk partitioning with several common variants or manual partitioning and, of course the chance to set up RAID and LVM in detail for a multi-disk system

Fedora net install along with https://boot.fedoraproject.org/offers all this and more as well but this discussion has nothing to do with features and everything to do with the defaults.

The link you provided to BFO has been broken for a while.

I believe Rahul is talking about https://boot.fedoraproject.org/ and simply made a typo.

The previous anaconda installer did too. I've seen the Debian installer so I'd not be touting it too much if I were you... including the GUI one they are still working on.

Just out of curiosity... what's wrong with Debian's installer? I rather like it.

"The GUI one" being just another frontend to the same code. Hence it not providing that much more functionality over the text mode install. Luckily that has the benefits of an identical feature set and less maintenance being required.
