In many many years of installing all kinds of linux distros, I have never encountered a more baffling and cryptic screen than the one I ran into when I made the attempt to install Fedora 18 Beta from the DVD image:...
Why are you testing this software if you are afraid it is going to trash your primary system? Did you realize that this email you wrote was entirely unconstructive
On the contrary, it mirrors my experience. I installed to a system that had previously had little installed to it, so there was no irreversible damage it could do. Yet, it did plenty damage, as attempting to ascertain what actions would cause what results was a baffling experience. What the post does is let devs know something's wrong with it if people experienced in testing and willing to take risk are stymied by it.
