* Fedora Desktop Live Media -- If you're looking around for a desktop
operating system and the other options don't look familiar you maybe
want this (you can install from it)

* Fedora KDE Live Media -- if you're looking for a desktop featuring
the K Desktop Environment you want this (also installable)

* Install Media -- If you just want to install, esp. having access to
a lot of packages (software) without internet access, you want this

The first two are live CDs (under 700MB each) which need not be
installed (to a hard drive) to be used.

The third is a DVD (under 4.5GB) must be installed to use, but comes
with much more software that can be installed.

Hope that clears it up a bit.
