Quoting ven, 01 mar 2013 Roger <arelem@xxxxxxxxxxx>:
Maybe it's a faulty download.
I would that it is so, but I checked twice the DVD (on 2 different
machine) and I checked the checksum.
So what else?
I am testing the memory (right now 65% passed).
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
useless shit.
Thank.
I have 8 Go of RAM on x86_64 brand new machine. The hardware is a
Z77-G41
(MSI) with an i5
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.
