hi, the fedora's new installer got many innovative features
but it's missing many critical easy to fix final touches from user experiance point of view let me mention some I've tried fedora 18 live cd, I was offered to choose LVM, standard or BTRFS and later went through partitioning process and when I'm done the "begin installation" button was disabled leaving the user without any clue or error message I've done all steps in a proper way (I've prepared a partition for / and swap ..etc.) I know what was the problem (as a fedora developer, I know that live installation is just blind copying of an already made filesystem which you can't change its type from ext4 to BTRFS) in general we should not offer BTRFS option and always tell the user the reason and how he should fix it let's take this screenshot http://i4.minus.com/j0HyRgwBFv38q.png I believe the orange ribbon should be at the top it's not status bad, it's an error flash message we see 3 items, one of them "no disk selected" it has the same level of importance as the rest two, I believe its background or foreground should be made red or orange. choosing the destination is scary, since people know there are some steps might wipe the entire disk, the screen below needs a way to gently tell the user that this step is not scare "the monster is not in this step" http://i.minus.com/jWQMDfIBvDHZZ.png later steps should *tell* the user what to do eg. delete a partition then activate auto partitioning or create an ext4 mounted as / always tell the user what is the problem and how can he/she fix it
