But this only applies once Fedora is installed. To get through the 
installation without graphics, type "linux text" when you boot the installer 
disc, as Frank Cox wrote.

When the installation is done in text mode like this, the installed system 
will also boot into text mode (mode 3). After the installation is done it's 
time to run the commands that others have mentioned to install the updates 
and the graphics driver. When the graphics works you can change a setting so 
that the system will boot into graphical mode (mode 5) instead.
