Ahh, so when hyperbole simply isn't going far enough we actually have to descend into the obviously ridiculous, as in, worthy of ridicule. My house plant can do a Fedora install with this installer. That you keep failing to get any kind of successful installation is a bit amusing. Maybe you need more water?
Firstly, your mocking hectoring tone is very unhelpful, annoying and is not a productive way to engage.
Secondly, I can confirm this finding. I was completely unable to install F20 using the current installer program. My system has 2 drives - a 1TB HD and a 120GB SSD. The SSD holds Ubuntu and Win7; the 1TB drive holds /home, swap, a dedicated Windows swap partition, a Windows data drive, and 2 spare unused root partitions for test distros.
This is /not/ a very complex layout - there is no RAID, no LVM, no GPT, nothing hairy or difficult.
The F20 installer was completely unable to understand it and allow me to install a complete system. Assigned some 250GiB of space, it said that it needed 6.5GB and there wasn't enough room.
In trying to install, it erased one of the spare-root partitions and was unable to recreate it in the available empty space.
It *is* broken and it *is* unusable. "Well it works for me" is *not* an adequate reply.
