I find it hard to believe that a LiveCD would have a problem because 
/tmp on the harddrive was full (although it IS possible that the live 
instance DOES use /tmp...not sure). But in my case, I had attempted to 
install F11, but it barfed during package selection. Rescue-is-possible 
showed me that Ananconda had indeed formatted the partitions...so /tmp 
was definitely empty in my case. And the LiveKDE disk wanted a password, 
  which the LiveGnome disk did not. And I installed from there.
