Hmm, I upgraded my laptop the other day using the install DVD. It was a 
bit of a pain because I run mostly KDE which was borked until I did a yum 
distro-sync and got everything updated.

I didn't point to the raw device, but instead I pointed to the mounted 
media:

--device /run/media/[user-name]/Fedora\ 18\ x86_64 

as per documentation.

The command switch is a bit misleading, since with device you might think 
to point to /dev/sr0 instead of the mount point.

. . . . just my two cents.
