+	  Using the <function>fast restart</function> feature of <productname>Windows 8</productname> and rebooting into Fedora may lead to data loss. Files written to the <productname>Windows</productname> partition by Fedora may be deleted when rebooting into <productname>Windows 8</productname>. This may be avoided by disabling the <function>fast restart</function> feature in <productname>Windows 8</productname>.

+      The <package>ntfs-3g</package> driver used by Fedora 18 for <function>NTFS</function> filesystems will attempt to detect the dangerous situation and prevent mounting to avoid data loss. This is less true of previous Fedora releases, and <function>fast restart</function> should still be disabled to ensure proper function and prevent data loss.

+    <para>
+      For those doing <function>kickstart</function> installs, many package group names have changed in Fedora 18. In particular, the <literal>Base</literal> group has been renamed to <literal>Standard</literal>. In order to install this group, it must be <emphasis>explicitly</emphasis> specified in the <function>kickstart</function> file.
