"After you complete the mediacheck function successfully, reboot to
return DMA mode to its normal state."
- but there's no mention of DMA before this point, so this is probably
going to confuse readers who will wonder what they should have done
that's related to DMA before now.
Adjusted the sentence at
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Beats/Installer and dropped the info
about different modes.
"Use of /dev/hdX is deprecated on i386 and x86_64 for IDE
drives, and
has changed to /dev/sdX except on PPC."
- that doesn't seem to be the proper use of "deprecated," which
normally suggests a choice. wouldn't it be more correct to say that
that notation has simply changed?
Fixed.

"There are four Live images available for Fedora 8."
- the list given there doesn't quite seem to match the available spins
listed at http://spins.fedoraproject.org/. (games is not listed, and
the KDE spins are for only F8t3, not F8.)
Long story, short. This was correct in the time of writing the release
notes but changed since my games spin got approved late. I have fixed
this now in the overview. The live page information was already fixed in
the wiki.

"To do this, install the livecd-tools package from the
development
repository."
- livecd-tools is not in the dev repo, it's in fedora.
Already fixed in the wiki. Thanks for the feedback.
