I don't know why I didn't think of this when I installed F12 on my 704
but I do have two old CRT monitors laying around. The simplest work
around may be to use those instead during the install. I gave up and
went with the LiveCD originally, but I don't want ext4 and I've
noticed a significant performance hit using it. I also created a
striped LVM last time (4G SSD/4G SD card) under F11 which may have
helped as well which I can't do with the LiveCD.
