Today tried installing F17 x86_64 from DVD and get these errors:
ERROR: could not insert 'floppy': No such device Loading Fedora 17 x86_64 installer...
dracut Warning: Unable to process initqueue dracut Warning: /dev/disk/by-label/Fedorax2017x20x86_64 does not exist dracut Warning: /dev/mapper/live-rw does not exist
Dropping to debug shell.
dracut:/#
This laptop does not have a 'floppy' device.
Should installing F17 not be as simple as inserting DVD into drive and rebooting?
Is there a workaround to get F17 installed from DVD?

Burned another DVD and booting it got some other errors (rpcbind?) but it runs the installer at least.
I'm doing custom partitioning and I selected to encrypt the LVM physical volume (LUKS) but now it is also asking about encrypting the filesystem for logical volume.
Do I need both of these?

And another problem. You cannot edit the Volume Group name field. I need several Volume Groups but now I have no way to do this since there's no way to make them unique. :-(

The install guide might be of help...
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/17/html-single/Installation_Guide...
And this is really the sort of question best suited to the users list: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users
not the devel list. ;)

Hey Kevin, I've been custom partitioning Fedora installs since the beginning of anaconda.
Look back several years and you'll find still unaddressed installation bugs for anaconda/preupgrade. For example /boot on RAID.
And things in F17 installer are not exactly as described on the guide.

Hmm, I did a fresh F17 install two days ago with /boot on (MD) RAID1 and it worked just fine, with none of the grub issues F16 had with that.

Yes you can install (or upgrade with anaconda I think) but what you can't do is upgrade using preupgrade if you have a mirrored system disk.
Which is just one of the reasons I do all my upgrades with yum...
