Fedora-Live-Workstation-x86_64-21-5 on Alienware laptop

[don fisher]

I have an Alienware 17-1 laptop that I would like to run Fedora linux 
on. The laptop has 2TB of disk, 32GB  of ram and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 880M 
graphics, so I thought it would make a great development platform. I 
inserted the Fedora live DVD and booted. It asked If I wanted to check 
the disk, which I did. Next I started Fedora. It got to the point where 
the fedora logo is on the screen, and then disappeared. The fans came 
on, so I assumed it was doing something, but after about 5 minutes the 
system appeared to be still in the same state.

In the past there has been an install image that is about 4.3GB large 
that guides the installation. I cannot find an similar image for F21. I 
have been away for awhile, so if this is well known please forgive me. I 
looked at the documentation and did not see any mention.

Will Fedora work on an Alienware laptop? I though the since it was Dell 
it should. If so, what is the best way to load Fedora onto it? Is the 
fact that the live DVD failed telling me I am out of luck?

Thanks,
Don
