I've not tested boot+install from USB optical drives.  Thanks for this
feedback!  I'm not aware of a bug for this issue yet, can you record
this issue in bugzilla?  

Please be sure to include your anaconda.log (and really '/tmp/*log*'
from the installing system when logging this issue).  To get this
information, once you are presented with the dialog, press <ctrl><alt>F2
to change to tty2.  On tty2, you should have a shell prompt to copy the
files to another system.  If no shell is available, any screenshots of
the output ontty's 3-5 would be helpful.

Feel free to find me, or other testers, on #fedora-qa if you have any
questions.

Thanks,
James
