does final criteria #8 mean lvm-on-raid must be available?

I can't reproduce this.

Fedora-18-smoke12-x86_64-DVD.iso
anaconda-18.37.8-1

1. Three disk, MBR, md RAID level linear.
2. VG either totally unallocated, or allocated all or in part to an LV.
3. Click on Installation Destination.
4. I'm presently with one local disk, sda. I don't see the other two disks attached.
5. Manual Partitioning, under Unknown is 'sda1' described as software RAID.

No VG. No LV. It seems to see the physical disk, not the md device, nor the VG or LV.

Based on this older thread, it seems that this should be possible, but somehow the installer is being very literal seeing physical disks instead of anything LVM.
