/mnt ist mount in / where you assigned 512 mb according to your list.

Nevertheless, I suppose the error message is random. You use a rarely
used partitioning schema and anaconda may be not thoroughly tested in
this area.

Do you try to install just a command line system or including a GUI?

If so your allocated space may be too small. Fedora doesn't store
anything in /opt and /usr/local, and just a few kb in /home during
installation. So you allocated 2 gb for the system. For some operations
the /tmp system may bo too small either.

In general it may be a bad idea to split your disk space into such small
pieces as you are doing.
