{{MessageBox|backgroundcolor = #faa|image =Warning.png|heading =WARNING|message = Amahi 8 for Fedora 21<br />Maintenance Support ONLY!Please use a supported release!<br />}}__TOC__<br>The following are '''unsupported install methods''' for installing Fedora 21 with a graphical user environment, more commonly referred to as Desktopor user interface.
Initial testing indicated these appear to work with Amahi 8, but there is no guarantee and we cannot fully support them.
'''<span style="color:red">WARNING:</span>''' '''NOT ALL''' apps available in Amahi 7 are fully operational for Amahi 8. Check the [https://www.amahi.org/apps App Store] before proceeding.
