The only way I > know to install into a vm is to use actual install media. i have not tried but how should the "live cd technology" even know that it runs in a VM? however, live-cd-to-disk in my opinion is generally unuseable due the lack of partitioning as said in my following post: boot with "noefi" or/and "nogpt" i needed this even with F15 on bare metal to get a working setup with /boot on linux RAID1 and two RAID10 for system / data which is definitly not possible in the default anaconda >= F15 while on F14 it was a normal thing like eat and drink a really godd example that "improvements" in Fedora often are horrible steps backwards and only improbements for "click, click, OK" instalaltions
