"error unmounting /mnt/source" while installing F8

[Konstantin Svist]

Trying to run the setup process again, I did not see this bug (although 
I'm fairly sure I followed the same steps)

However, there are still lots of bugs in the GUI version of Anaconda - 
if/when you start choosing packages to be installed, don't press the 
space bar to [un]mark a selection - that seems to cause an exception 
whenever I do it.

I ended up using the text-mode install. Although it gave me less info in 
places, it gave me some extra options for network setup and didn't crash 
even once.
