      If by corrupt install you mean the fedora install froze after
USB booted and before it told the install was successful, yes. Like
early this year (so I guess it is too far in the past to be relevant
to this discussion). Interestingly enough I then dd'ed ubuntu -- just
needed to test hardware so any distro with the latest kernel would do
-- in it because I thought it was a hardware incompatibility issue and
it worked well enough to finish my tests.

If you mean install was deemed successful but then it would not work, no.
