Rajesh, hi:
Once the Live is running there's a shortcut to "Install to disk" or
something like this. It's no necessary to boot with the DVD again.
If you're using the nvidia card, for sure, you're going to need
the proprietary driver to get Gnome3 working.
Personally I think it's a good idea to skip Fedora 15 and going directly to
Fedora 16.
