Yeah - just the quickest, easiest path to get from zero to a functional 
Fedora installation (which is the LiveCD)

Probably the emphasis is on
* how to get the image (and which image to choose)
* how to burn the image to CD
* how to boot from the CD

Unless you're doing something fancy (in which case you might need the 
full-blown IG), you can just follow the prompts from there and you'll be 
OK...

The frustration expressed in the link that Rahul posted would certainly 
be solved with just those three topics.
