It's mentioned in Chapter 18 of the Fedora 8 Installation Guide: 
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/f8/en_US/ch-next-steps.html 
and in the "Top Docs" section of the Fedora Documentation 
webpage: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/

In that case you should be running Linux From Scratch or Gentoo 
instead of Fedora. Fedora is based on the RPM package management 
system.
