Hello,
I'm a long term Debian and Ubuntu user and just tried to install Fedora
14. I want to share a couple of impressions:
I don't have a CD writer at hand, so I downloaded the netinstall image.
Following the instructions in the installation guide, I copied vmlinuz
and initrd.img from the .iso and bootet into it using my existing grub2
setup.
The first surprise came when the installer asked me where to install
from. I downloaded the network image, so I thought it'd be obvious that
I wanted to install from the network.

Grmbl. Reboot, read the documentation again. Ok, apparently I should be
able to manually enter the URL of a Fedora mirror. So I grab I piece of
paper and write down

Kudos to the guys behind
http://boot.fedoraproject.org, with the BFO
image the network installation is now just as pleasant as with Debian.
No need to memorize any URLs and image locations anymore.
Best,
-Nikolaus
