The built-in dedicated graphics card is not used but not switched off, either. The resulting power drain would make it impossible to complete the installation on battery power.
Because the dual graphic card support came in later Kernels than the one shipped with Fedora 20.
Hm, are such cards going to be supported soon? So far, I haven`t been able to use it at all because when I switch, there is no output to the screen anymore.
Recent Kernels do support power management to turn off dedicated graphic cards. It being able to automagically switch graphic card for GPU load is a long shot at the moment.
Nouveau doesn't even work on my system. It floods my system with messages [1] which makes it impossible to get to the desktop. I use Nvidia binary drivers through Bumblebee which works fine.
Language selection is confusing because you have to discover the Continue button, which is located out of sight far off at the right edge of the screen.

Why is the Done button so inconveniently placed at the left top of the screen? Why not out of sight like the Continue button, or better, under the "Add a disk" button ...

I don`t like this installer ...
I concur. I certainly don't like the work flow of Anaconda where you have continue button on top-left corner. It breaks the intuitive linear flow that you would expect from an installer. It feels like going one step forward and two step backwards. I certainly don't prefer an ugly GTK+ installer to install Fedora KDE.
After all, I think it`s little things that might be improved over time. And the installer really has become much better already.
More importantly, the system doesn`t boot. Any ideas how to install Fedora with the setup I described so that it boots, or how to get it to boot?
The docs tell me it is quite possible to create RAID partition using Anaconda.

Why is LVM a default "Partition scheme" (whatever that means)? I have no use for lvm.
Let`s say "I want more space" ... and "Standard Partition" (whatever that is) and "Encrypt my data and set a passphrase later".
Continue and I`m asked for a passphrase! That was supposed to happen LATER, not NOW ... So enter a passphrase ... Now I can either "Cancel" or "Save Passphrase". Seriously? Where is my passphrase saved? I suppose I could as well write it on a sticker and glue it to the monitor
Why do you want to use RAID-1 when you say that you have no idea what LVM or even Standard Partitions are? And same goes for employing full-disk encryption. If you don't know what to do with passphrase, you will inevitably use your data permanently and blame Fedora.
