Description of problem: created / from existing VG, reused all other LVs that had other Fedora installations, standard /boot and swap. Selected no bootloader (did this twice as initial no bootloader selection during disk selection did not hold). Tried to create a /data directory with nothing mounted by creating a 0 size parition, but wanted a minimum of 1MB, so deleted it. How do you create a mount point without anything mounted? Selected finish paritioning, spoke screen came up with a ! triangle in partitioning spoke and thought anaconda was frozen, but after about 3 mins error came up. Version-Release number of selected component: anaconda-18.36 Additional info: libreport version: 2.0.18 cmdline: /usr/bin/python /sbin/anaconda kernel: 3.6.7-5.fc18.x86_64 description: :The following was filed automatically by anaconda: :anaconda 18.36 exception report :Traceback (most recent call first): : File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/storage/devicetree.py", line 2177, in resolveDevice : if devspec.startswith("UUID="): : File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/storage/__init__.py", line 1681, in setUpBootLoader : self.bootloader.stage1_disk = self.devicetree.resolveDevice(self.data.bootloader.bootDrive) : File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/ui/gui/spokes/custom.py", line 476, in apply : self.storage.setUpBootLoader() : File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/ui/gui/hubs/__init__.py", line 111, in _runSpoke : action.apply() : File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/ui/gui/hubs/__init__.py", line 328, in _on_spoke_clicked : self._runSpoke(spoke) : File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/ui/gui/hubs/__init__.py", line 343, in _on_spoke_clicked : self._on_spoke_clicked(self._spokes[dest].selector, None, self._spokes[dest]) :AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'startswith'

After about 5 tries, determined this is due to selecting No Bootloader in partitioning screen. I see a patch in the anaconda list referencing bz 885240 so I imagine it will also fix this one.
This is fixed in 18.37

How do you > create a mount point without anything mounted? Do you mean "create a directory with nothing mounted on it"? If so, the answer is "you use mkdir after installation is complete." A mountpoint, by definition, has something mounted on it.

A mountpoint, by > definition, has something mounted on it. Right, of course. Brain fart due to too late at night and mixing up install tasks.
