learning fedora

[Aly Dharshi]

Lonnie,

	Start with taking the Fedora distro and installing it from disks via 
the GUI and that will allow you to discover the install system, Fedora's 
installer is Anaconda 
(http://fedora.redhat.com/projects/anaconda-installer/) so you can check 
out that too.
	
	If you start with installing the distro via anaconda from the disks 
that would be a good start to see how it works (install-wise)

	Cheers,

	Aly.
