Unfortunately, I discovered last night after sending my last mail that we forgot to add a dependency to the codeina package when we put in nottings rewording patch that added the link to the fedora wiki. The side effect of that is that the distro dialog ("the sermon") is skipped unless you happen to have python-sexy installed. This could be what you are seeing in the above walk through. This is really unfortunate (and makes me look bad in this discussion). I have built a fix and pushed it as a zero-day update.
