If sda2 is your extended partition, then ALL logical partitions (5 and up) must be within sda2.
You can have sda1, 3 and 4 be normal primary partitions wherever you want on the disk (except inside sda2 of course).
On the other hand it sounds wrong that it would insist on having /boot separate. I can't find anything that says fedora 23 requires such a thing, except of you use encrypted / or LVM for /

Len, Thanks. I just took a closer look at my partitions. Somehow, my swap partition has gotten into an extended partition, and everything else is primary. I would not have done that deliberately. Now I see a route to an extra partition. Anaconda is rejecting my standard partition scheme, and the Fedora site is recommending a boot partion, -- Howard Gibson hgibson@eol.ca howard.gibson@teledyneoptech.com jhowardgibson@gmail.com http://home.eol.ca/~hgibson
