This is the first Fedora 17 disk I have tried.

I didn't bother with any of the alphas. Particularly, because of the /usr/lib 
stuff, I wanted that all to be well ironed out before I give anything a try.

There was never any way for me to make a selection. I would like to move my 
system over to EFI, since it is supposed to be more advanced, but I don't know 
how to migrate. I read that you have to have a special partition set up for it 
and I don't know whether the installer will do it or whether I should create 
one first.
