Installation Quick Start Guide now available for Fedora 16

[Jack Reed]

Hi everyone,

As proposed at the December 12 docs meeting, the Installation Quick 
Start Guide has been reinstated for Fedora 16.

The guide is now available at the docs site. I've updated the content 
and screenshots to reflect F16.

The PDF version is not yet available, but hopefully will be later today.

I've also restructured the underlying XML so that it closely matches the 
structure of the Installation Guide, which will aid translation. There 
are only a few unique XML files, and only a couple with a para unique to 
the IQSG. The books otherwise overlap.

Regarding Valentin's work so far on the Fedora Quick Install Guide wiki 
page, how shall we proceed with reconciling the two?

Given that he has highlighted some preliminary access issues (language, 
network settings), could this page be a FAQ for basic but less common 
queries about installation?

Because the purpose of the IQSG is to provide as straightforward and 
concise a guide to the installation process as possible, incorporating 
these issues may overburden it. But they are naturally still queries 
that we might like to provide answers for.

If you have any feedback on the IQSG itself, please let me know.

Thanks,

Jack

Would this be good information to include in the Installation Guide?

Hi Jack!

I added info about language selection before installaion because this is *the only* way to start installation (anaconda) in language 
other than english.
This is for users who do not speak English.

Regards!

Hi everyone,

I've updated the Installation Quick Start Guide to include a section on 
Language Selection.

Thanks very much to Valentin for the Wiki page that outlined this procedure.

Cheers,

Jack
