I also have installed Fedora8 on a Vista Notebook, but one Big warning.
Unlike XP, which doesn't see the Linux patittions at all, the Vista saw the 
partitions, and if you click on them in My Computer it will offer to format them 
for you. The notebook was setup for a student that got it for Christmas, and 
Vista Ran on it like a Dog, so we set it up with dual boot. That worked fine 
except for the wireless card. Then here sister was using the machine in 
windows, and for some reason, she clicked on the the Linux Partitions, and 
formated them. Then the machine wouldn't bot anything, since Grub was 
gone. Redid machine in Fedora8 only now. 

I don't have any access to Vista, but wonder if there is a way to make Vista 
not see the Linux partitions to prrevent this.
