Thanks for the response.

But I see eg from KDE bugzilla (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/)
  Bug 902328 - Costom Disk Formatting can corrupt multiboot system
that Custom Disk Partitioning is possible on some F-18 installations
(presumably the full DVD installation).

So it seems that the KDE Live CD uses a cut-down version of Anaconda,
or perhaps does not use Anaconda at all,
since I am only offered "Automatic Partitioning"?
