Getting to the first anaconda UI screen took a good 1-2 minutes. I
wasn't sure if the VM had locked up as I had no indication of work being
done. I can see people being frustrated with the wait and rebooting a
few times and then posting on @test or @users that F18 won't install.
The custom partitioning manager, as mentioned on other threads, is
confusing and buggy. The VM I tested with was already F18 alpha.
Anaconda saw F18 already installed, and when I offered to reformat the
existing partitions they disappeared from the F18 alpha list (not
expecting that) and I found them under the F18 beta partitioning without
a mount point. When I added a mount point the partition was duplicated
so for example I had a 500MB ext4 partition and gave it a /boot mount
point, which created a 500MB "Boot" ext4 partition leaving the original
partition still on my screen.
Overall I think the NewUI is a step in the right direction even if it is
a very rough, if not still in carbon form, diamond.
May I suggest that the "Date/Time" setting be moved to the "User
Settings" page, which is during package installation? The root password
setting looks lonely.
