Hello,
I'm a long term Debian and Ubuntu user and just tried to install Fedora 14. I want to share a couple of impressions:
I don't have a CD writer at hand, so I downloaded the netinstall image. Following the instructions in the installation guide, I copied vmlinuz and initrd.img from the .iso and bootet into it using my existing grub2 setup.
The first surprise came when the installer asked me where to install from. I downloaded the network image, so I thought it'd be obvious that I wanted to install from the network.

Grmbl. Reboot, read the documentation again. Ok, apparently I should be able to manually enter the URL of a Fedora mirror. So I grab I piece of paper and write down

Kudos to the guys behind http://boot.fedoraproject.org, with the BFO image the network installation is now just as pleasant as with Debian. No need to memorize any URLs and image locations anymore.
Best,
