USE THE NETINSTALL.

http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/18/Fedora/x86_64/iso/Fedora-18-x86_64-netinst.iso

It works great, and you get the latest packages.

Custom partitioning isn't as easy as it was before but basically
here's how you do it:

Click custom partitioning configuration on the main screen -> "no
thanks let me do it myself" -> don't let Anaconda create the
partitions -> click + sign -> type the mount point (i.e. / and you can
also type swap for swap here too).

On a 40GB VM I usually do 2 partitions: 6GB swap partition and the rest to /
