my point was not about my specific case, I have managed to install fedora 18

the point is about to tell the user what he has done wrong and how he should correct it.

This is no longer the way live installation works. We now use rsync to
place all files to the hard drive so the problem lies somewhere else.
Could you please search bugzilla for a similar bugreport and if there is
none such, file a new bug? Also any additional info (steps to reproduce,
logs from /tmp and e.g. the output of the lsblk command) would be
appreciated.
