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.
