An installation without specifying a swap partition. When a system has sufficient memory, the installer should warn, but not restrict this request.

Boot the GTK-based installer using any available means. Do not use Fedora Workstation live on Fedora 41+, as that uses the webui-based installer.
Proceed to the installer's main screen, making sensible choices, and enter the Installation Destination screen.
Ensure only the single target device you prepared is selected as the installation target disk.
Ensure the option to configure partitioning yourself is selected,and complete this screen.
