Someone may be more familiar with PowerShell than with other shells, and someone may be dualbooting.

The question should be “WHY to install Power Shell in Fedora (or any other Linux distro)?” What functionality does Power Shell provide that native Linux/Unix shells do not? What are its advantages over Linux/Unix shells? Or is it just so one can brag “Look at me! I have Power Shell installed”.

I’d much rather install and use ZSH or FISH shell. I did not switch from Windows to Linux to go back to using Microsoft products.

If you are trying to install in Fedora 18 as a virtual machine guest (VMware or VirtualBox) disable 3D acceleration in the VM settings. You should then see the “Live System User”.

I had a similar issue, the live user wasn’t even listed, so I clicked not listed and wrote root as user, then to begin the installation I went to the file manager, and in the desktop of this user double clicked the shortcut to begin install.

You should try using root user instead
