How do you know? You haven't filed a bug report, you haven't presented any logs 
to anyone to find out if what you're experiencing is in fact intended behavior. 
You haven't even stated the nature of the installation failure.

It will not. Because this is the user to user forum. To cause a design change 
in the installer means posting to the Red Hat anaconda-devel@ list. To cause a 
design change specific to Fedora means posting to the Fedora devel@ list. Bugs, 
requests for enhancement, and even perceived clearly articulated design flaws 
should have bug reports filed. Pretty much always when an installer bug is 
filed, the installer logs should be attached (at least program.log and 
storage.log).

Yes it matters.

You're seriously acting like this is your first day at the rodeo. You are 
supposed to state what did happen, including any error messages received, and 
how this differs from your expectation of what should have happened. The 
installer always keeps logs in /tmp - so go try a Fedora baremetal install and 
when it "won't install" and you're stuck, post the /tmp/anaconda.log, 
/tmp/program.log, and /tmp/storage.log.

You can even fpaste them directly from the shell, just fpaste <filename> and 
then note the URL and post it.
