“This angered a lot of people, but I simply cannot
recommend a distribution to my readers in good conscience if the
installer is completely broken. Thankfully, Fedora 12 was recently
released and it’s fixed this problem, and then some!

“Looking back, I’ve tried everything to install Fedora 11
on my test machine. Different file systems, options, partitioning
schemes, redownloading, reburning, you name it, I tried it all and
I found that it simply doesn’t work. (Keep in mind that this
is coming from someone that’s been installing Linux since
2002, I’m definitely no slouch). Fedora 12, as it turns out,
installs without a hitch. It was painfully easy to install, and the
installation worked on the very same box that Fedora 11 failed on
previously with no configuration changes whatsoever. Fedora
12’s installer works, and it works well.”
