This page is a visual guide to the Fedora 14 install, without presuming you have existing knowledge of Linux.  It also covers how to partition the drive for a clean install and set up for [[Greyhole]], for those of you coming from Windows or WHS.  Much of the information is based off the existing [[Partitioning_clean_install | partitioning guide for Fedora 12]] created by Jayrock.

It also covers how to partition the drive for a clean install and set up for Greyhole, for those of you coming from Windows or WHS. Much of the information is based off the existing partitioning guide for Fedora 12 created by Jayrock.
