I gave up on installing on physical hardware as soon as the new
anaconda first showed up. I don't trust a single thing the
hopelessly obnoxious interface shows me and have no idea
what on earth it is going to do to my disks. (Being
forced to click the "Done" button way before I'm done
was the straw that broke the camel's back :-).

Instead, I install in a virtual machine where anaconda is free
to trash the virtual disks in any way it sees fit, then I
copy the virtual images to partitions I create myself
adjust the grub.cfg and fstab files and boot using the
configfile option of a stand alone grub instance.
