What I do is use the scp command (included in the openssh-clients package) to copy files from the guest to the host, then upload them from there.

BTW, this same problem prevents X from starting in the F17 installer, so it's forced to do a text-based minimal install. This does not include openssh-clients, so you have to install it manually.
