If this is fine with you guys, here's a change request to add redirects 
for those two to the docs.fp.o index page where visitors can choose 
their language and version of the document they want.

Alternatively, we can update all links to point at eg.  
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/f12/en-US/html/ and mark 
those as translatable, which would be a late break of the string freeze, 
but still a pretty small one (the effect would be that all website links 
would point to the English doc until translators update them to point to 
their specific language's URL).

Thanks,
Ricky
