It makes perfect sense to me, what you are saying.

I was able to use F17 to "overwrite an existing linux
partition" but was not able to do fresh-install with
this "feature" after F17. I think this "feature" is
not available after F17 as I think Anaconda was
replaced with something else, can't remember what
it is called. I posted the details of this problem some
time ago and at the time thought that this feature
would be eventually folded back, in but I guess this
is not the case so far.

So, I had to fresh-install F17 first, fedup (upgrade)
to F18, then fedup to F19.

This new anaconda, at least to me, is awful but then
that is just my opinion, which doesn't mean much. ;)
