FIXED! -- Re: Fedora install support for netbooks -- small screen size

[Robert Moskowitz]

I just installed F14 on my Asus 701ee and ALL the screens I encountered 
during the installation fit nicely on the 800x480 screen size.

I would like to thank the developers that decided this was worth doing.

I will note, however, that you missed the 'Create User' and 'Date and 
Time' dialogs of the post installation process, they are the only ones 
of the post installation process I encountered that did not fit on 
800x480 and I had to 'guess' that Alt-F would move me Forward or Finish.

I will say that the changes to Disk Druid are significant and I 
'studied' what keystrokes (on F14 installs on more 'regular' hardware) 
to use to work with it, assuming I would not see the dialog buttons 
since they got moved to the bottom of the screen.  Fortunately, I did 
not need this.
