I just installed F14 on my Asus 701ee and ALL the screens I encountered during the installation fit nicely on the 800x480 screen size.
I would like to thank the developers that decided this was worth doing.
I will note, however, that you missed the 'Create User' and 'Date and Time' dialogs of the post installation process, they are the only ones of the post installation process I encountered that did not fit on 800x480 and I had to 'guess' that Alt-F would move me Forward or Finish.
I will say that the changes to Disk Druid are significant and I 'studied' what keystrokes (on F14 installs on more 'regular' hardware) to use to work with it, assuming I would not see the dialog buttons since they got moved to the bottom of the screen. Fortunately, I did not need this.

I am doing another FC12 install on my ASUS 701ee. This is a test system, and I end up installing every month or so.
Of course with the small screen size, I end up pressing <cntl-N> a lot, as I cannot see the Next button. And on some screens I just miss some options, like getting to customize the install packages. I am always forgetting the key combo to turn that check box on.
Is there some way to either get the ability to pan the screen around or scroll the screen so that on Netbooks that SHOULD be a popular install platform for Fedora, can have workable installation?
