I am trying to install Fedora 19 on one of the hosts. There are a lot of issues that I ran into, which I have documented here.
1. Creating A Live USB using Unetbootin
I am using a Debian Wheezy to create a Fedora 19 bootable USB. Unetbootin for Debian Wheezy has support for building only Fedora 16 x86_64 OS, but we are proceeding with choosing Fedora 16 x86_64 option and installing a Fedora 19 disk Image.
Errors:
After creating the Live USB, on boot the computer gives the following message:
select the USB from devices menu (/dev/sdb in my case). and create a FAT32 filesystem for my USB.
Run unetbootin
Select the appropriate Fedora 19 x86_64 iso image and install it on USB Image.
Live USB is ready.

No DEFAULT or UI configuration directive found!

To correct this, I formatted the pendrive using gparted and created a FAT32 filesystem.
Install packages:
sudo apt-get install gparted dosfstools
Run gparted
sudo gparted
sudo gparted
select the USB from devices menu (/dev/sdb in my case). and create a FAT32 filesystem for my USB.
Run unetbootin
sudo unetbootin
Select the appropriate Fedora 19 x86_64 iso image and install it on USB Image.
Live USB is ready.
The Fedora Setup
After choosing the Run Default option from UnetBootin Screen, I divided the fedora partitions into 3 parts:
Label | Type | Mount Point | Size |
LinuxLocalFolder | ext4 | / | 380 GB |
WindowsLocalFolder | ext4 | /var | 40GB |
root | /home | ext4 | 20GB |
Swap Space | swap | swap | 20GB |
LVM (Logical Volume Mount)
Something new, unlike previous Primary Partitions (4 in number ) and countless Logical Partitions, Fedora 19 gives us LVM, where we can just assign each partition the label LVM, and Fedora itself configures what to take as a primary partition and what to take as a logical partition.
