Thanks Kari,

I was able to boot the live image; I noticed that the touch pad doesn't
work, however I have a mouse as a temporary until I can manage to get the
appropriate drivers installed or modify or installed a newer kernel with
the supported drivers.

You mentioned that I will have remove nomodset from the kernel command line
or create an xorg.conf file. I assume it will be okay if I install Nvidia
drivers may create the xorg.conf file.

Thanks again for your response I am a few steps closer to having Fedora on
my laptop.

Installing Nvidia drivers will take of setting up correct driver. So you
will not need xorg.conf.

The nomodeset option will still remain in default kernel options. You will
have to manually remove it. For instructions see
