Leslie:

It looks like you found some areas that could certainly use improvement!
If you would please report these issues on Bugzilla, with "Fedora
Documentation" as the product and "installation-guide" as the component,
we could track the revisions in the customary Docs Project way.
Reporting issues by email alone means they are more likely to be forgotten.


Thanks,
Christopher
