Although ext4 was the default file system in Fedora 11, the version of the GRUB bootloader included with Fedora 11 could not read ext4 partitions. Fedora 11 therefore required a separate ext3 boot partition. The version of GRUB included in Fedora 12 now supports ext4, so '''anaconda''' now allows you to place '''/boot''' on an ext4 partition. | |||

The fedora installation CDs and DVD provide you with an image file, ''boot.iso'' that you can burn to a CD and use to boot a system and start the installation process. Typically, you would do this prior to installing Fedora from a local hard drive or from a location on a network. You can now use the CD produced from the ''boot.iso'' image to start installation on a system that uses Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI). CDs produced from older versions of ''boot.iso'' only worked with systems that used Basic Input Output System (BIOS). | The fedora installation CDs and DVD provide you with an image file, ''boot.iso'' that you can burn to a CD and use to boot a system and start the installation process.

Anaconda is the name of the Fedora installer. This section outlines issues related to Anaconda and installing Fedora 25.
Ext4 for boot partitions
Although ext4 was the default file system in Fedora 11, the version of the GRUB bootloader included with Fedora 11 could not read ext4 partitions. Fedora 11 therefore required a separate ext3 boot partition. The version of GRUB included in Fedora 12 now supports ext4, so anaconda now allows you to place /boot on an ext4 partition.
