I have trouble reading the installation wording and need to use a magnifying glass. My trinitron crt monitor can support very high resolution (1900 by xxxx) , which anaconda choses to use. This resolution is way too fine for my eyes. At least put an upper limit of 1600x2000 as a resolution for the installation. Better, let me chose the installation resolution so that I have no eyestrain.  I believe that was done for F10, and for other alternate distributions

Supposedly you should be able to set the resolution with the "resolution=<mode>" option to anaconda. For example,

resolution=1024x768
or
resolution=800x600

I haven't gotten it to work in F11. There used to be a special case option, lowres, which was equivalent to "resolution=640x480" (and also didn't work), but after I pointed out elsewhere that it even existed, it showed up in the anaconda change log as "removed lowres option."

Anyway, try the resolution option and see if it works for you.
