Chuck, you are amazingly stubborn when it comes to creating bugzilla reports. But without them, we can't really fix anything. There are 1000 ways to run the installer, there are 1000 different hardware and software environments, there are 1000 different components running inside the installer, and without very detailed information and program logs it is almost impossible to find and fix the problem.

Sorry.

But if you do want to help, please:
1. go to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/
2. create an account
3. report a bug against anaconda in Fedora 18
4. provide all information that you can think of (how did you run the installer, what steps you took, if you noticed something weird in the process)
5. attach logs from /tmp into the report
6. (optionally) post a message here into test-list so that the bug gets discussed and generally gets more attention

This is the way how to be helpful.

Thank you.
