Maybe it's a faulty download.
I have both a dvd and usb installer both images downloaded weeks apart,
which I have used on a number of machines and all worked well, If I had
a gripe with Fedora 18 it would be that it now takes 5 seconds longer to
boot than it did a month ago but it's clearly 40 seconds faster than
booting Ubuntu.
The installer just worked so well for me but I didn't need manual
partitions.
Isn't it a bit unfair to call the installer shit, suffice to say you had
problems, that doesn't make it bad. From my reading of lists, it seems
to have worked for goodness knows how many people and failed for very
few in comparison. And according to the devs it's still a work in progress.
I think it pays to remember that Fedora is bleeding edge and problems
are never resolved at this level of development.

Due to it's memory requirements I consider F18 installer to be

Thank.
I have 8 Go of RAM on x86_64 brand new machine. The hardware is a

It regular fails after the installation of 4 or 6 packages!!!
You can watch the installation in progress by switching to another
console (Ctrl-Shift-Fn) which log what Anaconda is doing. There are
several of these active at once (IIRC one of them even has a Shell), and
you might get a better idea of where the failure is happening.
